      Pros

      Unique opportunity for travel and knowledge growth.

      Cons

      Each Command (Submarine) is different depending on the chain of command, but many sailors experience similar issues such as: being overworked, not having their solutions to problems heard, scheduling conflicts, and an imbalance of standards. They also say that they care about the mental health of their sailors, however, the only time they voice those concerns is after a sailor has unfortunately committed suicide.

      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.
