Pros

As an enlisted programmer I have a pretty close to gauranteed job even if there isn't much work.

Cons

You may not always be doing the job you signed up for. Of course this is not true if you are a govt. contractor or Civil Service employee

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.
