      A very rewarding career for self motivated people.

      Pros

      The mission of the US Army is meaningful. If you want to make a real difference in society, this is the place. The benefits and stability offered in the Army are very difficult to match in almost any other job. The army has a very broad demand for different skill sets. There are opportunities for specialization and skill developments in almost any field imaginable.

      Cons

      Promotion is generally awarded based on time in service. For those who want to excel quickly through hard work, there will be some frustration at watching your less-qualified peers advance at a near equal pace. Be prepared to sacrifice some personal freedom; especially at the lower ranks.

      The United States Army

      Pros

      The greatest reason to work for the US Army is the honor that comes with knowing you make a difference in defining America. One is never faced with the dilemma of doing meaningless work. The friendship and camaraderie is unparalleled with any other job field in the world. The US Army is also one of the only jobs in the world where someone is paid to ensure your well being, and is assessed based on your well being. They are also one of the only employers that take on full responsibility for lodging, food and medical care for you and each one of your dependents.

      Cons

      You are required to spend time in foreign lands in dangerous situations, far away from everything you consider to be normal, for extended periods of time. Long hours are compensated for, but the army has no concept of overtime; work is done to standard, not to time. Soldiers live, and die, in harms' way. You will face loss, hardship and deprivation. There is a strong possibility that you will be more knowledgeable than your supervisor, but powerless to change the balance of power. A lot of the standardization and uniformity in the army does not make sense to free thinkers

      The best of times and the worst of times.

      Pros

      It's the only place where - in general - merit trumps all. If you don't complain and work as a team member, good things will happen. If you can't shoot or flunk your PT (physical training) tests, Uncle Sam will show you the door. It's a great organization with many fine folks with whom you will share a strong bond. You'll get to travel the world, get an education (if you choose), as well as serve your country.

      Cons

      Not for the people who like stability, safety, or security. A lot of paperwork, politics, and bull****. You could get blown up or sent to Alaska.
