Pros

DoD Military Service can challenge you to grow and exceed your original expectations about yourself. USAF is the best of the services, as the leadership is much more focused on supporting their people. Housing for low ranking members exceeds all ather services, as does common sense provided by supervisors. Most USAF bases are like small towns - Mayberry. Great places to raise a family if that is your goal.

Cons

Military service simply isn't for many people. At the lower ranks, you must subjegate your personalty and are expected to "shut up and color". Current events that are negative involve the upcoming removal of Law Enforcement skills training. Those duties are being transfered to DoD civilian police, and those new kids entering will never get the traing to be a cop on the outside if that was their goal.

Pros

Upward mobility, service to country, education benefits, health benefits, challenging environment, top notch people. I have nothing but good things to say about the USAF.

Cons

The military is a little bit like communism in the fact that everyone gets promoted / advanced / paid the same regardless of how hard you work. A lot of times a couple people pull the weight of everyone else. You will find that in any orginization, however promotions in the military tend to be based on time in service rather than performance.
