Pros

You'll have the opportunity to work with some great people, travel to many countries, many options on where to live and work, and a good rate of promotion.

Cons

Extensive time spent away from family, some posts some posts are out of the way, some rather incompetent mid-level managers, while health-care is free, it is incredibly slow, family members will wait for hours for something that takes minutes at any other doctor's office.

Pros

-Proud to work for the government (even if I don't agree with all of its leaders' policies) -The camaraderie is outstanding (usually) -Exciting work and very fluid environment -There are a ton of different opportunities ranging from being a cook, a Special Forces soldier, a human resources specialist, a linguist, a member of a US Embassy, to a helicopter experimental test pilot. -Opportunity to travel all over the world for days at a time to years -Benefits for service members and families are outstanding

Cons

-Have to deal with bad leaders, peers, or subordinates (like in any large organization) -There is a lot of bureaucratic "fat" -May need to spend lots of time away from the family/home (depending on your job) -Can be long hours during surge periods (depending on your job)

Pros

You get lots of good training that is useful whether you stay in or get out. It is especially helpful if you get out to get a good job.

Cons

It is very hard to get promoted b/c of all the re-class (see pros). Also, you will end up being outranked by people who have less time in service than you b/c they are imagery analysts or some other type of analysts. Take it in strides, get our education and training then get out. That's my advice. Good job over all though, I've been taken care of.
