One of the most obvious benefits would be the disciplined attitudes that are brought by the military lifestyle, which makes young Kay Jamison excel at several aspects such as time-management/task efficiency.

The disadvantage would be that in that lifestyle, it is very likely that a child wouldn't be able to freely express his/her emotion (because it often ended up in backlash or punishment). This definitely would become a burden for Kay in the battle with mental illness.
