Pros

Travel, education opportunities, salary reflective of civilian sector, medical/dental benefits.

Cons

Deployments (away from family for 6-10 months at a time), work-life-balance is unbalanced sometimes, micro-management, promotions are not performance based (more time in rate/rank based - at least for the first 10 years on average).

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.
