Business Outlook
Pros
The retirement plan and the benefits. Also, there are lots of opportunities to travel. Health care is free, prescriptions are free, college tuition is paid for, and they'll pay additional money to you for housing and food allowances.
Cons
You become government property for the duration of your enlistment. Senior leadership becomes quickly detached from the lower working class. Pay is okay, but lots of people can make more on the outside. Then there's the whole "war" thing. You're kinda expected to go off to war, and they don't always tell you when you're coming back.
