Spent six years in the USAF myself. Couple of things worth considering.
1) It is steady employment.
2) It usually provides opportunities for training (and no I am not referring to how to kill people)
3) I consider it an honorable occupation as its primary function is national defense.
4) An honorable discharge looks good on a resume.
5) I do not know how it is in other countries, but my military service has provided several benefits after I got out - (mostly) free college education, easier to purchase a home, occasional reduced medical costs.
6) The disciplines of military service helped me to mature as a person.
There are downsides of course, it is a form of contract slavery, but you are usually well taken care of while you are in (food, lodging, medical benefits) and a technical support position is infinitely to be preferred (electronics, computers, communications, etc.)
