Pros
- Benefits package is outstanding - People are the salt of the Earth - Gives focus and drive to people - Encourages professional/personal growth - Fighting for your country under the banner of "World's Greatest Air Force" is awesome! - Constant Pay - 30-day vacation and Federal Holidays with the occasional 4-day Family Day
Cons
- Accessions to Officer from Enlisted is terrible - No Warrant Officer Program - It's possible to be the most educated and be the lowest ranking E-1 - Promotions is terrible...the Air Force claims performance-based promotion system yet, if this was true, more of the right people would get promoted - It is not a meritocracy!!! - Decisions in the Air Force are made by those who aren't experts in any one field i.e. pilots making decisions in civil engineering.
