Pros

I love the Army! Once settled in to a unit, there's a sense of community like none other. You'll develop skills and friendships that will last a lifetime. I'm proud of my service of over a decade and thank you to those who are to serve and continue serving.

Cons

Hurry up and wait is my biggest pet peeve in the military. Bad leadership is my next pet peeve. The promotion system needs to be fair and should be modeled after the Navy or Air Force promotion system.

Pros

Great on a resume Education benefits (e.g. Montgomery) Free certifications; SkillBridge programs when leaving Phenomenal mentorship from seasoned leaders (Mostly) predictable work schedule Guaranteed career progression opportunities Potential for unique schools (airborne, air assault, rangers) A lot of time for personal development (if good leadership) Free healthcare VA benefits after leaving the service Huge veteran community after service

Cons

Sometimes unpredictable and very long work hours Not a lot of room for personal development (if bad leadership) Clearly unfit individuals in leadership positions in every unit A lot of time away from family when deployed/on rotation Moving from duty locations every few years on average Work may take a heavy toll on personal health Being treated like a child as a 30+ year old Overbearing emphasis on inclusivity and diversity for a military organization
