      Pros

      The pay is good not great. Health benefits are very good compared to other jobs, BAH and BAS are helpful.

      Cons

      You work with very low educated individuals who are held back in the world because they are in the Army. The Senior "Leaders" ,if you want to call them that, usually only made it to the rank they are because they kiss butt really good or they stay in long enough to get promoted to the next rank. Most of them would not make it in a civilian job and that is why they stay in the Military. Being deployed away from your family for half the time you are in the Military is probably the worst part about this job, to defend the country from terrorist which in most cases don't even exist. DON'T JOIN THE MILITARY!!!

      Safe, secure, but limited

      Pros

      Unmatched job security, decent pay (after the first 6-10 years), and unlimited training opportunities (within your career field). Strong sense of community and extremely diverse population.

      Cons

      Creativity and initiative not rewarded. Leadership has tunnel vision based on their personal past experience. Height-weight standards are arbitrary and favor short stocky people with fat necks. Fitness standards are not job related - just age related. "Fitness" objectives favor training for the test - not true healthy lifestyle changes and choices.

      Junior Military Officer

      Pros

      Extremely unique. You have a chance to really hone your leadership skills and each day is never the same as the last. You'll meet a wide-range of people from all over the world. The sense of camaraderie between many folks in the Army is very strong.

      Cons

      The US Military is a very socialistic system. Promotions are time-based, not performance-based. The quality of junior soldiers and officers can vary widely from excellent to terrible. Once these individuals are in the military it is very hard to remove them from the military if they are sub-standard performers. Some soldiers use the military as a welfare system and do the absolutely bare minimum to get by and because they never do anything particularly wrong, there isn't much you can do about it.
