      Accelerate your life! Not. - Fire Control Technician US Navy Employee Review

      Pros

      Benefits, GI Bill, steady job, retirement. If you have kids and you need a insta-career to pay the bills and whatnot then you might do well in the navy. The comraderie of people going through the same crap you are makes it easier. But it's no way to accellerate your life.

      Cons

      Sitting around all day doing nothing at all. Standing watch, staring into space for hours. Poor leadership. The mentality of some leaders that they are running some kind of prison. The fact that you can't quit.

      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.

      Pros

      Provides excellent structure and allows for individual growth and provides excellent resources and benefits for those looking to make a career out of it.

      Cons

      Last minute tasking puts a damper on planning and scheduling.
