Pros

The best asset the USAF has is its diverse group of people. Lots of different backgrounds working toward the same goal is motivating. Great education benefits.

Cons

While USAF has great education benefits, many people find it difficult to use them. For aircraft maintainers, duty hours revolve around aircraft flying schedule, so its difficult to balance work/family/self improvement. AF loves the PT test, so if running is not your strong suit look elsewhere, because that score is the only quantifiable number used when sorting airmen. Finally, the AF is getting more and more about the details than the big picture. Most time is spent doing paperwork then actually completing tasks to directly fight and win.

Pros

Lots of traveling. Typically not in front lines of war zones, although I heard that's changing. Infrequent deployments. Family stability. Better assignment locations compared to other services. Great benefits and retirement program.

Cons

Lots of traveling. Not for the true "go-getter" with regards to promotions. Can be called upon 24/7. Although uncommon, you can be deployed within days of notification.

Pros

It allows you to work with assorted individuals to be a part of something bigger than yourself. To serve your country and to gain access of the world at large. Unlimited travel opportunities to places you would rarely get to see in a normal work enviroment

Cons

Tough travel at times, especially if you have a family. Not being there for those special moments can sometimes be a little harsh.
