Pros
Great MILITARY career - Lots of opportunity for professional development and tuition assistance. I loved the fact that I could transfer to other bases every few years and start new challenges while maintaining my level of seniority within the organization. The work you do may save lives.
Cons
This is a military career - not just a job. A certain level of self-sacrifice and selfless desire to serve your country is needed. You may experience deployments, family separation, long hours, no overtime pay, it can be problematic to get time off for school if your a shiftworker or are susceptible to exercises/deployments. You could go to war - the USAF has been in at war since 1990.
