The camraderie with your fellow military personnel. Highly visible promotion requirements and equal pay, no concern about unfair pay between genders. Promotion opportunities (depending on speciality) are abundant. Job security. Pension upon retirement. Pride in serving your Country. Opportunity to learn many new schools and immediate leadership positions.

Cons

Frequent time away from family-especially if deployed to a combat zone. Deployments to combat zones. Many moves throughout the duration of your career.

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.
