Pros

Excellent opportunity to learn critical trades for application in civilian jobs. Unmatched job security in comparison to the private sector. Best way for those new to any kind of employment to gain experience.

Cons

Travel is excessive at best, you will spend at least 6 months of every year away from home, if not closer to eight or ten months. Work environment is very high stress and results in an exceedingly high divorce rate among service members.

Pros

Effectively taught every aspect under the communications umbrella to a more than competent level. Effectively allowing an individual to become a one man media team in terms of knowledge and skill.

Cons

Sometimes leadership can place everything on one persons shoulders, miscommunications lead to large scale rewrites or redo's.
