Pros

I experienced much in a relatively short time. As a chaplain, while deployed in combat, I learned experientially how to counsel through sheer numbers in about a year what most professional counselors learn in about 10 years.

Cons

Not truly family-oriented; life is threatened, even as a non-combatant chaplain. I.e. much time is spent away from one's family, whether in combat or during training.

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.
