Pros
Great chance to serve your country. It really gives you leadership skills that are transferable to any career outside of the military. It gives you a chance to see the world in one of the craziest times in the last few decades. It is a career that you can be proud of, whether you serve for 2 years or make it a career.
Cons
Time away from home for both training and deployments. Compensation is decent in the officer ranks, but enlisted soldiers really don't make enough money. Promotions are based on time in service and not on performance. This is the big downside for me. Competent officers just get more work piled on them while others just ride along. Both get promoted at the same time.
