Pros
From Junior Soldiers to NCOs and Officers, there's a great respect between the two. Jr Soldiers are taught and are willing to be taught by given NCOs and passionate senior leadership. NCOs and senior leadership provide guidance and discipline to rear Jr Soldiers along their military career, giving them the basis to provide leadership ability when they become NCOs themselves. With different MOSs comes a vast array of guidelines to follow with different creeds and different upbringing in the military world. Between Infantry, Intelligence, Information Technology + hundreds more specialties to choose from, we all share one common ground. "We are soldiers FIRST!" [MOS specialty second to none]
Cons
1. Deployments. 2. Sometimes if your leadership is not sympathetic to the units soldiers + their needs, you get a crappy leadership and low morale within the unit. 3. 12 hour days for a lot of soldiers. 0530 first formation to 1730 at the latest for most units.
