Pros

- Great pay as an entry level job with no prior education - Good way to go to school or get certs before joining civilian workforce - Great teacher of discipline and becoming an employed robot - "Travel the world" (maybe) - Tricare/BAH - Good benefits after serving

Cons

- 20+ years for a tiny pension (you'll have to get another job afterwards) - Barely any control over your schedule - On call 24/7 - Deployments - The "maybe" part of traveling the world - Minimal pay, a fraction of what most rates can make in civilian sector - 90% of leadership being terrible - Toxic environment - 80%+ of your job will entail cleaning

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
