Pros

Only benefit to do this is love for your country

Cons

Death, loss of limbs, can’t sleep right ever again, knees and back damaged, no real transferable skills for decent paying job without additional schooling despite literally doing battlefield surgery. Expected to know how to be warfighter, not recognized as a combatant despite having certs for it unless you’re a 18D.

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
