Pros

The best reasons to work for the US Air Force are the great benefits (full medical, dental and vision), paid time off (30 days) and other compensation. You also get nice discounts at a lot of merchants in Northern Virginia. The new GI Bill should also be a very nice benefit.

Cons

You have to make frequent moves to different parts of the county. You have less personal freedom than a "civilian".

Pros

Getting 2.5days of accrued leave per month is nice, which adds up over time. You can request leave whenever within your schedule and it won't be denied.

Cons

Not too much structure when it comes to squadron training. Depends on your squadron but leadership can really determine your experience.
