Pros

- Aviation unit leadership is great and cares about it's people. - You'll never run out of things to do. - As usual pay and benefits are good, and you're close enough to northern Colorado that you can live there if you want.

Cons

- Base leadership doesn't care about aviation unless they can use it when and how they want, and otherwise aviation is just a nuisance to them. - You'll have to juggle a lot of hats and something is going to get dropped. - Cheyenne is old and outdated, also anywhere from some to lots of racism/sexism. - Good luck having a work/life balance if you care about promotion.
