Pros

It forces a kid to grow up. If one takes ones role seriously, you can really learn a lot, and mature to the point of becoming a very marketable asset to someone else in the future. If you don't know what to do, then do 4 years in the military.

Cons

When people get stressed, it roles down hill. Generally the leadership directly over you has your best interest in mind. Like all places, sometimes you find that real jerk who just wish would quit or die, but that isn't the norm in my experience.

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.
