Pros

Great for someone with limited options (college, trade, family connections) out of high school or needs a little structure. Like anything in life it is what you make of it. I know sailors that were CTT/CTRs that did the full 20 and I know a few that were like me that got out before 10 and did extremely well with their lives making $250K/year plus.

Cons

Hours, pay, Uncle Sam owns you for the length of the contract
