      Pros

      -Great medical/dental plan and benefits -Instantly placed in position of leadership -Forced to "work outside your comfort zone" -Rewarding feeling to serve your country -Standing Officer of the Deck of a submarine will always remain one of the greatest things I've ever done

      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.
