Pros
>Sense of duty. Being part of the military comes with a sense of kinship that you can't quite create in the civilian sector. >Fitness development In basic training and while on active duty, there are a lot of physical demands that’ll keep you in peak physical condition while also helping you to learn important soft skills, such as self-discipline.
Cons
1. Separation from loved ones The military lifestyle is filled with permanent changes of station, deployments, and temporary duty assignments. Although these military terms are not interchangeable, they all boil down to one reoccurring aspect of military life – leaving your family and friends behind. 2. It’s not about you anymore The military functions on a mission first, team mindset. If you don’t learn to switch from me to we, you may have a hard time adjusting to military service.
