Pros

Free travel throughout the world Great friends that you will have for a lifetime Experiences that you would never get living in the US

Cons

Sexual harassment/abuse is rampant Dangerous living conditions with Ex-cons living mere feet away from you. Theft is an every day occurence. There was someone almost beaten to death on my ship. Living conditions on a ship are barely better than prison (I can only imagine) "Old boys" club is alive and well. Pay is pretty much at poverty level.

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.
