Pros

job security you can't get fired unless you do something illegal, plenty of room for advancement if you put forth effort, 30 days of paid leave a year plus most holidays and weekends off, great benefits such as free medical, dental, optical, legal help and access to facilities on base that vary from base to base

Cons

crappy hours - depending on which job you get your position could work around the clock and your going to work nights and thru the nights eventually and often. deployments-depend on your job and location but could deploy to a foreign country once every 2 years for 3-4 months sometimes more often. low income you'll never be rich, unless you become a high ranking officer....even then its not alot.

Pros

Working for your country and always getting to try something new.

Cons

Retirement is an all-or-nothing scenario. Either do 20 years and get it or nothing at all. The TSP is similar to 401k but no matching contributions.

Pros

Opportunities to serve one's country, and learn and apply leadership and teamwork skills. Excellent technical training available to both officer and enlisted personnel, as well as, new benefits from GI Bill for college degree. Deployments are normally shorter duration than other military services. Core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all that we do are adhered to by 99% of office/NCO corps.

Cons

Higher operations tempo often can result in much more than 40 hour "work week" and regular deployments with irregular work hours make seeking education in off-duty hours more challenging.
