Pros

You get paid unless the government shuts down, get to travel but only see whatever country your in for 2 or 3 days, enlisted are treated pretty poorly but it is what is it.

Cons

You have an endless amount of bosses and can at any time be stopped by anyone of a higher rank and chewed out just because they can. missing major events in family life due to 6-10 month deployments. Don't count on staying married, one of the two or both of you will cheat on one another, I just hope your partner doesn't steal all your stuff while you're deployed (literally happened to me). Oh you get all this paid time off, that you're never allowed to use because it would leave too few people there to do the work.

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.
