      Pros

      worlds premier fighting force. there is a lot of pride in being a United States Marine, i could not picture myself in any other military outfit, the pay wont make you rich but you can live comfortably.

      Cons

      if you are in long enough you will eventually get promoted regaredless of how qualified you are, there are a lot of idiots and haters that can hold you back. todays Marine Corps is trying to be more politically correct as in limiting the number and size of tattoos or trying to make everybody wear a physical training jump suit, there are more pressing issues that the current commandant can be worrying about like keeping good leaders with tattoos in instead of keeping them out.

      Pros

      There are limitless opportunities availible in the Marines. Whether it be getting job skills for the future, or college opportunities, a chance to gain leadership experience, the list could go on forever! The leadership in front of you has "been there and done that", so you know that when you have to do something they aren't just telling you to do something they wouldn't think of doing. The senior leadership in DC cares for the lowest man just as much as the supervisor just in front of him. When outperforming your peers, you are rewarded for it in the means of promotions and subsequent pay raises. Overall a great organization to work for.

      Cons

      If you are planning on making a career out of the Marines then at some point you will have to move. This means packing up your family and all of your belongings and moving across the nation or possibly overseas. To some this may not be a downside for those that like to travel that is. Depending on the work tempo family time may be severely outweighed by time at work, this is usually balanced out by extra "long weekends" and time off. This is, however, not always the case. Upon sucessful completion of a job or "mission" there isn't always that reassuring "pat on the back" or "good job" which sometimes helps provide the motivation to keep rolling to the next task.
