Pros

I think the best reason is for the benefits. I have already used my GI Bill to get my Bachelor's and am moving on to a Master's. Also, once you are out the VA does a decent job of helping with jobs, medical (if you got hurt while in like me) and is good with claims now.

Cons

Never again volunteer yourself is just not right. Management is inept at times. Long times away from family, but you make some lifelong friends.

Pros

- Paid twice a week - Health insurance - you get to move around

Cons

- you get degraded constantly - the base pay is basically nothing and the BAH doesn't keep up with the rise of the cost of living - they'll kick you out after 10 years for the mortal sin of being transgender - the health coverage would be great if you didn't have to go to completely incompetent military doctors
