Pros

Great place to start when you're not sure what you want to do with your life. Gives a high school graduate the independance of being on their own but has enough adult supervision to keep you from getting into to much trouble. Provides a great opportunity to see the world and experience things you never imagined.

Cons

Some people have a rough time adjusting to the structure and intrusive leadership when they first join. It can be hard on a family with long deployments to foreign country's.

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.
