Pros

Great job and great people

Cons

In the reserves you don't test for promotions. It is a strictly subjective area where promotions are given. Most of it based on years in service. My buddy and I did everything we could but had four or five people ahead of us with 10 or more years on us. As soon as I hit 20 years I retired.

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.
