Pros

Hight degree of stability while pursuing opportunities to experience multiple professional options during the same career is a big plus. Education is highly valued as is professional competence. Travel opportunities can be significant and frequent.

Cons

The frequency of moves can be detrimental to a spouses career goals and objectives. Promotion and progress can be slower for high performers than in the civil sector and especially private industry... there are no 30 something general officers. Entrepreneurialism may or may not be valued, it depends on the local leadership.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
