Pros

Pride of service. Very diverse workforce. Extensive career opportunities. Although some corporate thinking is still outdated, there's enough fresh ideas and younger people to influence change. Retirement benefits are second to none. in an age where most companies are cutting 401(K) contributions, the Navy (and all other brances) still offer a penzion after only 20 years of active duty service.

Cons

Politics. Static corporate ladder. Rigid thinking. The biggest downside is time spent away from family and friends, often for months at a time. If you have a supportive family, the benefits are extensive.

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.
