Pros

A chance to help my country by developing exciting research products that lead to more effective mission skills for AF personnel. Good advancement opportunity. Chance to work with bright, motivated people. Excellent training opportunities. You get to work with dedicated Air Force personnel.

Cons

It is a large bureaucracy, so there are sometimes frustrations in getting the system to move more quickly. However, perservation usually pays off in the result you want to see. If you don't like working in teams, AFRL is not the place for you. However, individual initiative is rewarded.

Pros

Getting 2.5days of accrued leave per month is nice, which adds up over time. You can request leave whenever within your schedule and it won't be denied.

Cons

Not too much structure when it comes to squadron training. Depends on your squadron but leadership can really determine your experience.
