Pros

Steady paycheck, excellent medical and dental coverage for the whole family, a total of sixty days of regular leave in a year, and sort of unlimited convalescent leave. One of the most exciting benefit is re-location every 2 to 3 years at the Navy's expense. I always look forward to a new location, particularly overseas.

Cons

Duty is 24 hrs a day and 7 days a week
