Pros

Great medical and dental for your dependents - not so much for you. Quick advancement! (made 1st in 4 years 8 months) Great job skills for when you get out!

Cons

Horrible working hours. 100 hr weeks, odd working hours, and looooong days sometimes (6am to 8pm) Food quality is subpar at best Enlisted personnel are the backbone and most populous group in the military, and as such are treated very poorly.

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.
