Pros

Teaches professionalism, self-reliance, determination, perseverance, and gives random but fulfilling job experiences. The sense of Brotherhood is strong enough to make up for the cons.

Cons

Leadership is a always a worry; the commander of your unit and their NCO Cadre can stay with you for years, and you're contractually unable to get out of your unit without throwing your life away. Good leadership is not a guarantee, and the hierarchy of the military is generally extremely strict. If your first-line supervisor dislikes you, your career is unlikely to move forward until they leave or you get sent to a new unit.

Pros

paid to travel around Europe for unit coverage. 4-day weekends once a month (they call them training holidays so people can travel more), sometimes more if holidays land right. Our unit had really nice photo and video kits. Don't have to worry about taking or messing with our property.

Cons

It can be overwhelming as a first duty station, especially if they are young or shy. Operations happen on holidays and weekends sometimes. Depending on the unit, many people either do not know how to do their job or say it's someone else's job (I've been with 21st for close to 4 years now, and it hasn't changed even with replacements). COLA costs have fluctuated a lot since I was here. Not really cons, but German people will stare at you no matter how or what you look like.
