Pros

The Navy is a great place to grow yourself, especially if you are aware that you need some work to be competitive in college or in the workforce. If you are motivated to improve yourself, you will have all the support you need.

Cons

Obviously when you join the military you give up many rights and freedoms you have always taken for granted. Make sure you understand this before you join, and be honest with yourself when deciding whether or not you can handle this sacrifice.

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.
