      Pros

      The benefits and the opportunities available in the Navy are hard to beat. Plus, in economic times like these, the job stability is a plus!

      Cons

      Extremely demanding hours and work environment at times. I'm a Surface Warfare Officer, and in addition to 6+ month deployments that you will encounter every 18-24 months, there is also duty days and "work-ups" in which the ship will also spend time at sea and away from home. The demands of the military are also very stressful, and you have to be very flexible with your own time.

      Pros

      It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

      Cons

      Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
