Great world wide experience - got to travel a lot and see the world.
Pros
There is no limit to the opportunities in the Army — so there’s no limit to what you can learn and achieve. The Army strengthens you, and your future, with expert training in one of over 150 different jobs for Soldiers on Active Duty and over 120 in the Army Reserve. From working with computers to assisting physicians to fixing helicopters, there’s an Army job right for you — providing the experience that will give you an edge over those in the civilian world. The Army also offers you money for college and the chance to interview with America’s top corporations.
Cons
With deployments being 12-15 months long, the Army is very hard on families. Many soldiers come home to find that their spouse has been unfaithful, is now in a relationship with someone else, and divorce is being filed.
