Pros

Benefits, paid to learn new skills, always get paid (even during gov't shutdowns and quarantines), tutition assisstance, allowances for housing, food, and moving expenses, travel.

Cons

Sometimes you get shot at. Sometimes your leadership sucks. You always make "enough" money, but it never quite seems to be enough to make a serious savings (unless you're an officer). EO complaints often don't go the way they should. You belong to the military 100% of the time.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
