      Not the normal life style and an opportunity to get out and see many different aspects of this world in which we live.

      Pros

      travel and the opportunity to defend your nation. develop special skills that civilians lack. mostly that of operational experience and placement in diverse and complicated environments where your forced to make tough decisions.

      Cons

      You work for the corps the corps doesn't work for you. pay isn't the best, but you can't expect more from the government. its hard to get promoted in the marines and its hard to have a normal family relationship with the amount of duty time the marines require.

      Pros

      pride in organization. you belong to something that is much bigger than yourself and feel that you are working for a (albeit dysfunctional at times) familiy. The feeling that there will always be someone there for you. Helping develop young people into responsible citizens who can contribute to society when they decide to move on.

      Cons

      lack of control over assignments. same pay for all of given rank regardless of performance. instability. You do not get a lot of say as to what you do or where you go or who you work with or for.

      Pros

      Espirt de corps, camaraderie, serving your Nation. This Band of Brothers is the first to fight and second to none. Excellent promotion opportunities, based on merit and not where you went to school or where you grew up.

      Cons

      Deployments, time away from home, long hours, oftentimes dangerous work conditions. With the deployment cycle in today's military, one has to join the Marine Corps knowing that many arduous and difficult overseas assignments await. However, as President Reagan said, "Some people work an entire lifetime and wonder if they ever made a difference to the world. But the Marines don't have that problem."
