Pros

The pay is good not great. Health benefits are very good compared to other jobs, BAH and BAS are helpful.

Cons

You work with very low educated individuals who are held back in the world because they are in the Army. The Senior "Leaders" ,if you want to call them that, usually only made it to the rank they are because they kiss butt really good or they stay in long enough to get promoted to the next rank. Most of them would not make it in a civilian job and that is why they stay in the Military. Being deployed away from your family for half the time you are in the Military is probably the worst part about this job, to defend the country from terrorist which in most cases don't even exist. DON'T JOIN THE MILITARY!!!

Safe, secure, but limited

Pros

Unmatched job security, decent pay (after the first 6-10 years), and unlimited training opportunities (within your career field). Strong sense of community and extremely diverse population.

Cons

Creativity and initiative not rewarded. Leadership has tunnel vision based on their personal past experience. Height-weight standards are arbitrary and favor short stocky people with fat necks. Fitness standards are not job related - just age related. "Fitness" objectives favor training for the test - not true healthy lifestyle changes and choices.
