Pros
Like the old line says, "Join the Navy, see the world."
Cons
Most of the experience one gets in the first 15 years of service is all but unusable on the outside. Civilian employers don't always respect or understand military service; they seem to regard it as something less than a "real job." Trust me, it's a real job, and at sea, with 100-hour plus workweeks, it can be a damned time-consuming job. Family separation contributes to a high rate of extramarital affairs and divorces. Then there's the potential for danger, which I don't have to explain.
