    Good & Bad

    Pros

    The training, camaraderie, teamwork, unique opportunities, and sense of accomplishment are incredible. In general, most Airmen (coworkers) are great people and the longer you serve, the larger your military family & friends will grow.

    Cons

    There are some (a few) "bad apples"...existing at all ranks, and a bad leader or supervisor can ruin your career at will, and they can do so with ease and little or no repercussions. Unfortunately, as a military member, you don't simply quit or find a new job; departing on unfavorable terms will have lifelong impacts to your veteran benefits and your ability to get hired elsewhere. Sometimes allegations, whether true or false, can lead to loss of pay, confinement, and a federal conviction under UCMJ. Most employers simply want to know if you served in the military and if you received an "honorable discharge." If you check anything other than yes to the second question, many employers will discard your application without asking anything about the circumstances, which could have been very minor, such as grooming/uniform appearance, missing an appointment, or even getting a parking ticket. If a "bad apple" supervisor/leader/commander wants to crush you, they can and will, and there are ample rules/scenarios at their availability to either "catch you" in a violation, or fabricate a violation.
