Pros

The US Navy offers opportunities in all fields. Experience in your line of work is gained through OJT and technical schoolings. Whether you're flying a jet or inspecting its landing gears, your work is part of a greater vision and an actuation of ideas. Deployments and over seas journeys educate sailors to be not only ambassadors of the US Navy but also offers the unique opportunity to experience new cultures through a sailors eyes.

Cons

Deployments can be rough on the strongest of relationships, between friends, family and significant others. Time spent away from home is practically putting life on hold while a sailor dedicates his time and efforts to completing the mission.

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.
