Pros

Great benefits and camaraderie. Excellent opportunities for growth and development. The support to attend college and potentially step up into managerial positions is unmatched.

Cons

There are a lot of hectic schedules, potentially moving a lot and the effects on the family from the constant travelling can take a toll on relationships.

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.
