      Bureaucratic, slow to evolve, large administrative burdens, no control over schedule or travel, long hours, under paid for the level of sacrifice.

      Pros

      Skill opportunities, civilian credential opportunities

      Cons

      every command is politically motivated. Promotions are assigned based on who is at a command for longer instead of purely merit. Overall, disappointed that the military is not a mertiocracy and more of a, covering your butt, bueracracy
