Pros

You don’t work the gates much anymore since 2025 but obviously subject to change.

Cons

They will refuse to promote GS-5’s after a year with no end in sight. If you want a GS-7 you have to take on two other roles, armory and the Desk (dispatch). You have to train and test on both. They will put you on those positions.

Guaranteed income no matter what, sometimes very high pay options with certain deployments or travel.
