Pros

Job Security and personal growth. You will work with outstanding people and really get a chance to make a difference in the world. Don't believe what you see on TV. Talk to someone who is in and ask them the real deal. I am proud of what I do and I lead some truly remarkable people.

Cons

Away from your family and you are working 24/7. You get time off, but it all depends on if you can break away from the job. There is a lot of BS that goes along with the protocol and the systems of the Navy, but it is just a different flavor of what you see as a civilian.

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.
