Pros
If you are strong willed and can manage to be away from home from time to time, the navy is an excellent choice. if you are smart and save, you can be financially secure since day one. Over the course of a 20 year career, if you save as you should and retire with a 20 year pension, your post navy life should be free of any money challenges. Once I leave the navy, i do not plan on working for anyone ever again. Becoming a naval officer was the best decision i have ever made...ever. Retirement is unbeatable...period
Cons
Deployment can ware you down if you are not strong. Time away from family is hard. However, all jobs have there downsides. .
