Pros

If you align your values with those of the Navy (Honor, Courage, Commitment) and are overtly loyal to your chain of command, you will have a much easier time. It's expected of you. I've worked with many great people and had the opportunity to see the world. Along the way, I grew into the person I wanted to be. It's a great way to spend 20 years.

Cons

Too many meetings. Too much emphasis on computer-based training for skill development. It's cheaper, but not better. NMCI makes doing business difficult most days.

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.
