Pros

The G.I bill benefits as well as full health/life insurance coverage. Your completely taken care of as far as food and housing goes and you have guaranteed money in your pocket to spend on whatever you want.

Cons

Salary pay is a double edged sword. You may work 12 hour shifts for a month and weekends for the same pay as somebody that works at a desk for 7 or 8 hours a day. Low ranking Airman are not treated very well, you have to develope a thick skin. Once you are in you can't get out honorably until your time is up. So make sure you know its what you want before you join, because you can't quit.

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.
