Pros

Job stability, satisfaction in supporting the core values of the military.

Cons

Advancement is directly tied to hard and fast directives that discourage rapid promotion of those who truly excel. Personnel must meet time in service windows for promo and raises.

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.
