Pros

The US Air Force is a great opportunity to serve the country, travel in the United States, possessions, and other countries, experience different cultures, get a and complete education or degree, start a career and obtain high technology training, raise and support a family in a secure environment, a stable and secure job, opportunity for growth, promotion, and participate in community activities, do volunteer work. There is a well established training, career path, and professional military education to obtain commensurate skills and advancement. How many civilian companies give 30 days of leave/vacation per year? There are many benefits such as exchange and commissary privileges, medical/dental and life insurance, subsistence, cost of living, and housing allowances, retirement pay after only 20 years of active duty service.

Cons

There are deployment assignment in dangerous areas and can be expected once or twice per tour, constant relocation in 3-4 years, occasional separation with family or loved ones, and when required, some sacrifices even giving up your life to defend the country. You can get disabled or killed in conflicts or wars.

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.
