Pros

job security you can't get fired unless you do something illegal, plenty of room for advancement if you put forth effort, 30 days of paid leave a year plus most holidays and weekends off, great benefits such as free medical, dental, optical, legal help and access to facilities on base that vary from base to base

Cons

crappy hours - depending on which job you get your position could work around the clock and your going to work nights and thru the nights eventually and often. deployments-depend on your job and location but could deploy to a foreign country once every 2 years for 3-4 months sometimes more often. low income you'll never be rich, unless you become a high ranking officer....even then its not alot.

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.
