Pros
The ability to explore the world and a great culture amongst your fellow lower enlisted (only). The friends you make in the Marines will follow you for the rest of your life.
Cons
Toxic leadership whole who pose themselves as leaders but are selfish and cruel. If a Marine transfer to a new duty station or exit out of the Marine Corps. It is tradition to give a gift and/or an award to the Marine for their hard work or remembrance of their time serving. I never would have thought I’d hear what I did from a colleague but check this out. Someone asked, “hey, is anyone getting a gift for the SNM?” The response was he should be thankful for being able to retire honorably. That response came from a senior SNCO. Seriously WTF!!! What happened to tradition?! What happened to respect?! What happened to the Corps?! They want critical thinkers but once you demonstrate those skills you are “targeted and made an example of. After serving half of my life, I was left damaged and empty handed.
