      Pros

      If you have nothing going for you in life, then join the Navy. The advancement is pretty high, but then you have a bunch of people at the senior level who don't know whats going on, since all the good/smart people get out.

      Cons

      The quality of life is horrible. If you like working 17+ hour days, 7 days a week, for a month at a time, being away from home for 6+ months at a time, then this place is for you. The pay is ok, but being nuclear trained the pay in the civilian world is so much better. If you bring up a problem whether reactor safety, hazing incident, etc., you are either are totally ignored or you get punished in some way.

      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.
