If one is comfortable with structure, it is great. Absolutely superb! As always, there is the classic trade-off of freedom for security. It tends to protect bad supervisors, but if you don't like your boss, wait 6 months and he/she'll be gone. That goes for both officers and enlisted personnel.

If a person has the ability to kind of lay back and observe the passing scene, the military would be a great way to spend 20 years, get a college degree, and retire with a modicum of comfort into civilian life.

Go into something like military police, which is pretty low on the totem pole while in, but is a marketable skill when you come out.

And in a REAL crisis, it's the place to be. While the military is exquisitely callous, it does take care of it's own.
