Pros

The Army has a flexible schedule when there isn't a lot going on. You get to spend a lot of time with friedns in a very similar situation to you.

Cons

Deployments mean a lot of time away from family. Also, the Army is very, very big organization, so it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. You may get the jobs you're aiming for, and you may not. Ultimately, though, everyone is subject to the "needs of the Army."

Pros

Great stepping stone to future endeavors and security while you are in. YOu learn how to work with a team and how to work for a global organization. You can also receive benefits well after seperation. I also have to add that I have met the best friends I have ever had, or ever will have in the Army. Even though I decided to seperate I was very proud of my service.

Cons

The hours are very long some days and holidays are not guaranteed. You can obviously be stationed overseas with limited or no opportunities to visit home. Re-classing or exploring new opportunities within the organization can be difficult and often requires re-enlistment.

Pros

The people! Army personnel are dedicated to being the best, have high morale, and take care of each other. Furthermore, the Army provides some exciting opportunities and challenges I would have never found outside the military. Medical benefits are pretty good. You can't beat free medical and dental coverage (at least for an individual service member) with a stick. These types of benefits are difficult to find in the private sector and medical care is often a large part of a family budget. Overall, if someone is looking for a challenge and being with a group of dedicated and highly motivated professionals, I would definitely recommend looking into the Army.

Cons

Unfortunately, a downside to the Army and military in general is work/life balance. Multiple deployments not only strain the service member, but the family as well. Furthermore, multiple moves with the family can be stressful as well. However, most people who join the military or remain in the military understand this fact.
