Pros
Great professional growth and training opportunities. Build confidence, reliability, and teamwork abilities. One of the best chances to learn to lead people in high stress, dynamic situations. Very respected as a previous employer.
Cons
Work life balance is very difficult. Deployments are happening too often. There is some inequity in assignments and deployment schedules (some people don't pull their fare share). Due to so many people getting out, almost everyone gets promoted, so there is no real incentive to stand out.
Advice to Senior Management
Change the evaluation system to make it more of a meritocracy. Too many young officers feel they are not truly valued.
