Pros

Being able to travel to many parts of the world. Great education opportunities, while active duty and after military service. Gaining great job skills. And pretty darn good community of people to serve with.

Cons

Starting pay is low, so for one that already has a family, it could be difficult at first. Some assignments are not as good as others. Current reductions in manning make it difficult to pursue a longer than usual career.

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.
