Pros

I have been with the US Navy for over 23 years and it has been an amazing journey. It is a great way to mature and build the confidence in yourself necessary to succeed.

Cons

You do have to spend a great deal of time away from your family and friends. This can strain relationships and add stress to your life.

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.
