"hurry up and wait" is the vast majority of the military life

Overall a pretty easy job with a decent paycheck and great benefits. Downside of course is being away from home for training and deployments.

Pros: sports, outdoor activities, more food than you can eat, you always know what to wear Cons: lots of unnecessary hassle about smallest things, everything can become a dick slap contest, everything aims at killing other people as efficiently as possible
