Pros

There are not a lot of pros for joining anymore.

Cons

It used to be that the military was all about taking care of people and families who risk their lives for our country to remain free. Now there is too much emphasis on the bottom line and it comes completely at the expense of those in the military. With the constant threats to change the retirement system and frequent cuts to manning the military is not a good deal. Why risk your life working a job when you can get better benefits from a civilian company?

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.
