Pros

Now, pros may be few, except for OCONUS work opportunities. [Rating would've been 4-5 stars during employment; now it would be 1 star, so to be fair I gave it a 3.]

Cons

Unstable environment, management by fear and intimidation, dearth of communication, outdated processes, stuck in good old boy era.

Pros

Travel seeing parts of the world not that easy to visit, plus sometimes seeing what the local people are like.

Cons

To many ex servicemen a little to much tunnel vision on how to do things, not enough brain storming.
