      Pros

      pretty good. you get an associates worth on electrical knowledge in the pipeline and get to work on equipment many people never have the opportunity to.

      Cons

      the training pipeline is really condensed which makes retaining knowledge hard. life on ship gets stressful and time away from family.

      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.

      Pros

      Job security is a plus with a large amount of your wage being untaxed as a married e-4.

      Cons

      Work/Life balance just isn't there depending on command.
