Pros

Advancement can be very fast if in a field that has a shortage of people. The ability to travel the world is always a plus. Building friendships that can last a lifetime. Being part of a team that always gets the job done no matter what is in the way.

Cons

Long hours and away from family often during holidays and special occassions. Pay is often lower in the military then in the civilian world but benefits such as medical and vacation are usually better. Sometimes your opinion is not valued just becuase you are a junior member of the team.

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.

Pros

Job security is a plus with a large amount of your wage being untaxed as a married e-4.

Cons

Work/Life balance just isn't there depending on command.
