Pros

You have unlimited potential for growth and learning in the Navy. You will learn technical, cultural, people, team and mariner skills.

Cons

Yes, you will deploy and spend time away from your friends and family. But this is temporary and you do it for their freedom and security.

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.
