Pros
Medical benefits (but keep your own copy of records), travel (sometimes not always where you want), regular pay (when the government isn't shut down). The best pro is the learning experience. Depending on your provider, you have a chance to learn techniques and treatments outside of your scope of practice.
Cons
Whatever they told you you were going to do at the front door-it's not what you're going to be doing. Signed up to be a medic and did grunt work and inventory for five out of the six years in. Learned a lot, but definitely feel I could have had more treatment experience outside the military.
