Pros

Tremendous benefits package that is easy to take advantage of. Unbeatable education program, even if you don't take advantage of the tuition assistance and GI Bill, the skills learned in technical training are still marketable.

Cons

Long hours, stressful work, and it's difficult to settle down. It places a heavy toll on family life, but even with the negatives, it is still one of the best places a person can work.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
