Medical is very good once you get into the specialist side of things Mental health help is readily avaialbe with many avenues to explore if need be Pay is very good despite what most people say
Cons
You would think being deployed would be the hardest part but it's actually when the ship is in refit and you have to deal with contractor regulations as well as navy ones with minimal manning because it just happens to be a great time to put people on courses. People getting promoted to management because they have hung around for a while and not having much actual skill at it(the majority unfortunately). Many "trades" do not line up with outside trades(ask a CSO what their job prospects are outside) People get promoted and stick around at the rank for years(decades in some cases) and this makes it harder to get promoted as you need spots to be open to do this.
