Pros

The health/dental benefits are great for families. Consistent pay every two weeks so it’s easy to budget. Federal Holidays are generally 4 day weekends. 30 days paid vacation every year. Retire after 20 years with a pension and health coverage. Free schooling while in or after you’re out. Contracts start at 2 or 3 years (depending on quotas), and then you can decide to reenlist or get out with benefits like the GI Bill. You essentially get paid to work out, live like the homeless a few weeks a year, and learn battle drills and tactics. There are more opportunities to get into elite courses like special forces, attend Ranger School, or get certified to jump out of planes.

Cons

Deployments and the inevitability of being shot at, might not be worth it. You relinquish your freedoms to preserve the freedoms of others. If you’re not married, you get paid very little for what is required of you until you get promoted to Sergeant. The infiltration of Woke ideology will infuriate you. The first year you will be tested by your peers and your seniors to ensure you won’t cower in combat, so it can be hard on weak individuals. Your patriotism will increase. You might start to display the American Flag in your home, on your car, or even stand during the National Anthem.
