Pros

If you buy into the system and understand that your sacrifices now will pay off later, you'll find the whole experience very rewarding. There are a lot cold, lonely and miserable nights which an wear on anyones psyche. You just have to keep the faith and remember why you chose to join. When you walk away from it, you will be amazed at how much you miss and cherish. It's an honor that very few people have and it's an honor that no one can take away from you. It's only four years, suck it up.

Cons

It takes you away from family and friends. It's not the regular 9-5, that you get to leave on Friday. It's a lifestyle choice that will invade every part of your life. It can be overwhelming at times. Oh, and there is that little part about going to places where people are trying to kill you.

Pros

Easy Pay, Plenty of time off, plenty of vacation days, and easy insurance. You will get promoted eventually weather you are good or not. however being able to run fast and do pullups is definitly a perk. sexism is also very prevelant through out the marine corps. The GI Bill and the insurance are very nice and you dont have to do anything really and you will still get paid, and eventually promoted. but the pay is nothing compared to civilian-related jobs.

Cons

Middle and upper-managment dont communicate well enough. This creates an enviroment were everyone only knows enough to pass the blame onto the next person without actually completing the job on hand.
