Quality of life not for everyone - Mineman US Navy Employee Review

- Area does not everything you want, but has everything you need -Great for autonomous command, developing cross-functional team skills, and collaborating across multiple organizations

-Seems like a remote duty location when it comes to resources, assets, and manpower

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.

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.
