Pros

interesting experiences, help soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines

Cons

all those interesting experiences come at a cost - low salary, takes you away from your family, no real freedom to express your opinion, the organization does not value you as a person (you are merely a pawn to be used up until your service time has ended)

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
