Pros

The life of a senior officer in DC is a good onet. Over all you get to see the cutting edge of running our Army from the top.

Cons

Tough hours and expensive living make it a challenge. Many jobs are frustratingly involved in minutia and powerpoint dazzling. Over all it is interesting work.

Pros

Clear career trajectory, numerous potential work locations, high variety of potential assignments, opportunity to play with extremely "cool" military hardware, practical leadership experience extremely early in a career, consistent responsibility.

Cons

Little ability to impact where/when you'll be reassigned (i.e. Needs of the Army), Narrow minded culture that can be intolerant of other cultures/lifestyles (extreme homophobia, referring to Iraqis as "Hajji"), Low average level of education, Leadership at all levels is rather hit or miss and the system does not aggressively weed out low performers.

Pros

They will take anyone and train them to do a job unavailable in the civilian world Life is cut and dried in the Military - once you figure it out, your entire career is set You can do anything you want to, you just have to finish your current tour and re-up to get into anther job Who else will take 18 year olds and give them these types of opportunity? They take care of you and your family (housing, food, medical care)

Cons

It is really cut out for young people. If you are in your late 20s or early 30s, you will be a dinosaur and may have a hard time with the rigidness of the military. I recommend it for 18 - 22 (or so) year olds to get a jump start on life...any older and it will be difficult.
