Minimum; I’ll put in 6 years and gain; veteran preference in usajobs, qualify for gi bill (for kids), gain more work experience for the af.

Maximum; 20+ years, become a SME in both civ and mil career (both sides of the military coin), qualify for tricare, get military pension (based on points).

Besides the slight interruption to my personal life, is there any benefits or drawbacks that I’m not considering? Is it worth it for someone my age to become and officer?
