Pros

Former sailor of almost 9 years. Honestly, Its different from the cooperate world. Getting fired is nearly impossible. If you're married they will pay you extra and automatically give housing allowance. It's a great way to learn many different things that is not your job. All in all. In my personal experience, no matter what the situation was. It was a non-regrettable one at that. To serve was an honor. You don't do it to impress others. You do it to better yourself, hone your discipline and better your country.

Cons

Sea duty, you are always away from home, underway, or on deployments. So thats normal. also, you signed up to serve your country. Not get married at the age of 18 once you enter the service. Go do that somewhere else please.

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.
