Pros

Life long friendships are made, you might get to see some really cool countries, good way to get your foot in the door with whatever career path you are planning to take.

Cons

They will use any possible opportunity to screw you over so they don't have to give you your benefits. It isn't like the civilian world, there is no such thing as "fair". If your boss doesn't like you? Too bad, you won't advance. If he really doesn't like you? Oh, you were late to work, get out of my Navy.

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.
