Pros
Pride in serving your country. The Ability to travel to distant countries and make friends with people of a different cultural background. The ability to pick your assignment has definitely risen in the Army. Family housing (outside of Ft. Hood) has definitely helped some families. 30 day paid vacation a year.
Cons
It is definitely not a place for people looking to seek recognition in serving. Some jobs are easier than others to get promoted to NCO ranks. It is much easier to lose rank than gain it. You cant take Leave unless it gets "approved". Pay is not as much as civilian counterparts with similar skills in certain Jobs.
