Pros

The retirement plan and the benefits. Also, there are lots of opportunities to travel. Health care is free, prescriptions are free, college tuition is paid for, and they'll pay additional money to you for housing and food allowances.

Cons

You become government property for the duration of your enlistment. Senior leadership becomes quickly detached from the lower working class. Pay is okay, but lots of people can make more on the outside. Then there's the whole "war" thing. You're kinda expected to go off to war, and they don't always tell you when you're coming back.

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.
