Pros

While the Navy base pay doesn't amount to much in the early stages of your career, as you make rank and accumulate time in service, your pay increases over the years. Once you qualify for BAH, your comfort level goes up much more.

Cons

Earning promotions can take a significant amount of time, depending on the job selection at entry and the number of personnel at a given rate/rank for a period of time.

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.
