Air Force Trains You to be A Soldier, Not An Airman
Pros
It has great benefits and you get alot of stuff for nothing! It lets you travel and your time counts toward a retirement as early as 45 years of age depending on some principles and certain things.
Cons
You are at their mercy, you dont decide what you want to do. Very often times you are put in a position to lead but your not allowed to lead, your just the person they get to holler at if anything goes wrong. Trust me, something is gonna go wrong. Alot of the senior leaders dont know what the other one is doing and your always getting conflicted information which means half are doing it right and the other half are doing it wrong. But since one half did it wrong now everyone has to have a do over. If we were a major commercial/private business, we'd be closed down by now. This job is wasteful and alot of money spent on things that aren't needed. The money makes it to senior leaders and they order new furniture for example for themselves meanwhile the maintenance office printer is on an end table thats over 25 years old but we dont have money for that. Or how about the fact that the workers spend what they need in replacement parts but the unit cant supply money for a raise or even renew the contract for people to continue to clean the bathrooms!!!
