Pros

The Navy took a 19 year old mechanic with a High School education, provided training for five different career paths, put me through college, allowed me to see the world (although Afghanistan was a little sketchy) and now will pay me a pension after only 22 years. Senior Enlisted and Officers receive great pay.

Cons

Separation from Family, the food is not great even in the Officers Mess, the administration is a nightmare, you commit to serve, you can't just quit. Sometimes good people get hurt or killed.

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.
