Pros

- Outstanding, consistent professional development of officers - Leadership is competent and caring - 30 days leave can't be beat - Tuition assistant...now for dependents!

Cons

- Work hours should be mission-based, not just 12-15 hr days or til burn out - What happened to 3-4 month deployments? How many kids births/birthdays do we have to miss til we break &/or have our wives leave us? - Computer-based training is not real training...most just check the block as fast as they can - Checking the pulse of subordinates under the leader that you supervise should be mandatory. This keeps leaders/commanders in-check...i.e. there are some commanders in geographically separated units who spend most of their time trying to please their boss vs. taking c/o their troops - PT: give back accountabiltiy for fitness back to the individual Airman

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.
