Pros

The travel opportunities and benefits package offered by the United States Air Force are undeniable. Tuition Assistance for school while you are in, the Post 911 GI Bill for when you get out - Both great ways to get an education. The Air Force is also a vocational school, transfer general education credits from the school of your choice and get an Associates just by doing your job.

Cons

The Air Force would be great if I didn't have a family. While it is great to see the world (a benefit I actually sought) I spent almost 50% of the time at my last duty station deployed. If I didn't have a family or the AF had better family support, this would have been great.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
