      Pros

      Ability to learn things most civilians don't. Possibility to travel to different parts of the country or world. Meet interesting people who you probably never would have thought you'd like. Federal Holidays and just general vacation days are what make this bearable. Chance for fast advancement if you keep your nose clean and do the right thing.

      Cons

      Hectic schedule and deployments. Pay sucks for what you do. Upper management sucks, just the lack of communication and the last minute things. They are not proactive enough and it wastes your time and taxpayers. You will have to sit through tons of briefings day after day. This is from the enlisted side, not sure about officers.

      Pros

      The Army offers the opportunity to work around a lot of good quality people. Most individuals I have met have a sense of duty and service. As such, there is a certain trust between members that one cannot always find in other career fields. The benefits are good, and there is a certain level of job security that is helpful in this turbulent economy. Among benefits that I enjoy is the ability to further my education. The Army has taken positive steps in supporting Soldiers' ability to go to school utilizing tuition assistance. There are many career oppurtuniities. The support the military gives to education is helpful whether one decides to stay in or get out.

      Cons

      Deployments can be difficult on the family. If one does not have solid relationships, the time away can cause a lot of stress. Even solid relationships must endure stress as individuals must spend on average one year apart. Looking over a lifetime its not that much, but for the time one has to endure the distance it seems like a lifetime. Apart from deployment, the other drawback can be having to move to different stations. That can have its positives for those who like to travel and see new places. It can be a downside, however if you are trying to buy a house and settle down in one area. Depending on the individual(s) and their family, the travel part can be a wash as some enjoy it and some don't.

      Pros

      Satisfaction of the service you provide to the people of this country. You get paid to do physical training and grow as a person. The people you meet are from all walks of life around the States and that means you get a nice spectrum of view points and thoughts.

      Cons

      Army culture can be demeaning at times depending on the leadership that is above you. Balance between work and personal life can be difficult due to increased deployments. Your ass belongs to Uncle Sam when you sign your contract hehe.
