Pros

GI Bill, free health insurance, deployment money is nice, a wide variety of training available, you get to blow stuff up

Cons

The health care is terrible, being deployed means getting shot at and blown up, you rarely get to actually do your job, spend most of your time loading/unloading connexes, the hours are terrible, expect to work 30 hour shifts for no reason, promotions can be impossible depending on your job

Pros

Great on a resume Education benefits (e.g. Montgomery) Free certifications; SkillBridge programs when leaving Phenomenal mentorship from seasoned leaders (Mostly) predictable work schedule Guaranteed career progression opportunities Potential for unique schools (airborne, air assault, rangers) A lot of time for personal development (if good leadership) Free healthcare VA benefits after leaving the service Huge veteran community after service

Cons

Sometimes unpredictable and very long work hours Not a lot of room for personal development (if bad leadership) Clearly unfit individuals in leadership positions in every unit A lot of time away from family when deployed/on rotation Moving from duty locations every few years on average Work may take a heavy toll on personal health Being treated like a child as a 30+ year old Overbearing emphasis on inclusivity and diversity for a military organization
