US Navy Reviews
-
Pros
Serving in the US Navy provides a sense of patriotism and allows you to contribute to the defense of the greatest country in the world. The expirience and skills you gain through Naval Service are unique, yet highly transferable. The Navy still forges leaders that the private sector is eager to tap.
Cons
Advancement is based on timing. Pay is unrelated to job performance. Long deployments away from family can be very difficult.
Advice to Senior Management
Revise the Fitrep system to ensure the best talent is being retained and advanced.
