Pros

Full medical/dental coverage and guaranteed pay on the 1st/15th. You never have to worry if you will have a job the next day.

Cons

Everything else not stated in the Pros section. The Navy has gotten extremely political. Sucking up for good EVALS has become a way of life. Not to mention the retention system is the worst. Highly skilled and qualified sailors are getting kicked out for not advancing because we are not great test takers and the immature baby sailors are advanced just for making sure their name is correct..Biggest crock i have ever seen.

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.
