Pros

Without a doubt the money and the benefits, especially if you are an officer. I made great money and I got to travel frequently.

Cons

Long hours. Be prepared to literally become government property. The Navy literally takes over your life because they can. I mean, for the money they pay you and the stuff they give you (food, housing, healthcare) they will extract it from you in the form of time. As in your time is at their beck and call. But if you are the kind of person that values a steady job (especially in this economy) then the Navy is as steady as she gets.

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.
