PROS: They take care of you: salaried, healthcare, housing, food, clothing, 30 days vacation per year (typically), and you get to see the world (Germany, Italy, Hawaii, South Korea, Japan, etc.), money for future education.
CONS: It's not much money, you get to see the world (Afghanistan, Iraq, where to next?), and they literally PWN you! Top physical fitness required.

Why is this a question then?
The pay is not much but the benefits are great. My dad supported two kids and we had a nice house and he was only a E-6. He served for over 20 years and now gets free medical from the time he retires and a pension. He also survived two tours of duty in Vietnam, he volunteered for both I think.
Free medical for you and your family
Get to shop at the PX and Commissary, no sales tax there and cheaper prices.
Free gym and other stuff like that, cheap bowling on base.
Either get Free on base housing or housing allowance this is pretty huge I think, I am paying $875 for a 2 bedroom apartment now.
Tuition assistance, my stepdad got his college paid for by the military.
And like someone else said, lots of vacation time.
The onbase housing can be really nice to, I remember living in a pretty big 3 bedroom townhome.

I heard the joining the service for a few years they can help eliminate some college debt...which i have plenty. I hate living in debt and even though i make good money it will still be many years before i can pay off my loans i want them payed off sooner than later so i can get on with my life.

Do yourself a favor and wait until November. I wouldn't join the military with a war-monger as a CIC. Thats just me, though.
