      Pros

      pays well and is very rewarding. easy to advance in the ranks. you get 2.5 days of vacation every month without a use or lose stipulation. chain of command always works with you to solve any issues and gives you all the time off you need. unmatched benefits, every thing is free. health care, vision, dental, even cosmetic surgeries.

      Cons

      long days/hours, work hard to meet the requirements of the job. mission first, family second. one year deployments to foreign countries.

      Army Special Forces

      Pros

      The people in SF are the most colorful and interesting group I have ever worked with. Intelligence, trustworthiness, and situational awareness are all a given here; the unit has the luxury of being able to kick people to the curb who don't cut it. SF often works according to "big boy" rules, which means less tedious Army BS to deal with, but stiffer penalties for mistakes. This is great if you are serious about doing your job well and would rather avoid a lot of the garrison distractions that other units contend with. Work is exciting, to say the least, and the small teams really give you a chance to make a positive impact. Pay turns out to be surprisingly good, once proficiency pay, hazardous duty, tax-free status, etc. kick in, and some deployments can yield a gold mine of per diem.

      Cons

      The big issue is career progression. Even if you like being a team guy, there's a finite amount of time you can spend doing that. Eventually it's on to being more of an HR manager, or it's the warrant officer track, which has its own ups and downs. For me, it came down to "where will this get me in 10 years, and is that where I want to be?" There's also a good chance your wife will despise you. Deployments, while relatively short, are frequent, as are training exercises that take you away from home for a month or two. Beyond that you will have the occasional late night and weekend work, and depending on your team, a lot of parties to go to. Some wives are more ok with this than others.
