Pros

Pay is very competitve with other civilian jobs, especially when benefits are added to the equation. Another added bonus, is seeing the world. I have no idea what other company will pay you to move to Germany and give you enough time off to actually see Europe. I have been able to see many countries and have been exposed to many cultures. This has made me a better person and allowed me to have a versatile resume.

Cons

The promotion process is probably the worst of all branches of service. I have talked to Marines and Navy and found that there promotion process is better and more rewarding. I was in the Army and still believe there promotion system is the best, although they do have problems thereselves, but it is better.

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.
