Pros

Sense of pride in why you're working. Esprit de corp. Good opportunity for training, education, and advancement. Also a very good opportunity to see the world. The retirement can't be beat.

Cons

Long hours with rare compensatory time off. Long times spent away from family. The compensation, while not bad, is not to the same level as the private world.
