Pros

- Aviation unit leadership is great and cares about it's people. - You'll never run out of things to do. - As usual pay and benefits are good, and you're close enough to northern Colorado that you can live there if you want.

Cons

- Base leadership doesn't care about aviation unless they can use it when and how they want, and otherwise aviation is just a nuisance to them. - You'll have to juggle a lot of hats and something is going to get dropped. - Cheyenne is old and outdated, also anywhere from some to lots of racism/sexism. - Good luck having a work/life balance if you care about promotion.

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.
