Pros

-secure paycheck: you will with out a doubt get paid twice a month automatically, makes it easy to ensure bills are paid on time

Cons

The Navy has evolved into a cover yourself type of organization, where people are only worried about getting promoted and look out only for themselves, there is no loyalty to anyone but yourself. The Navy is now run by people that are worried about political correctness, their own career advancement and making quotas, instead of rewarding people that deserve to be rewarded. The Navy is too scared of receiving bad press coverage that may hurt their image, their solution is to fire someone or kick people out of the service.

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.
