Pros

The US Army is a great place to start on your educational goals and to travel. It pays your tuition so that you can have a degree by the time you leave and it enables you to travel the world.

Cons

Downside would be if you are a single-parent, it is very difficult to balance the two if you are in a job and/or a unit in which you may be recalled at a moments notice.

During some points of my career, I have found that there is a lack of time to be spent with family.

Pros

Great leadership opportunity Ability to do things that others pay to do Steady pay in an uncertain economic environment If you get fired you get moved to a position with greater responsibility

Cons

As a Platoon Leader, there are times you feel like a highly paid babysitter. Battalion leadership has a complete disconnect between what is actually feasible and what will make a good bullet on their Officer Evaluation Report
