      Pros

      In the Navy, you will learn the leadership, management, and necessary skills to make yourself marketable when you retire or choose to get out. I make over six figures in the Navy (before taxes) and will now be making 140k (before taxes) becuase of my experience in the Navy. Yes, I am an officer, but that was not put on my civilian resume. Alot of those civilian companies wont know the different between officer and enlisted anyways. It's all about how you sell yourself and present yourself in person. I know retired E6s making six figures.

      Cons

      Terrible work/life balance. Terrible mental health care and resources. Mission will always come first. High suicide rate. Lots of leadership in the military, but not many who lead from the heart and truly care.

      E5 - navy - petty officer second class

      Pros

      You make good friends and travel to better places then the fleet does as a Seabee. Seabees have a strong tradition of hard work and making something out of very little. Something to be proud to be a part of. Making rank to E5 is easier now then it has been in probably 10+ years. It's worth doing a contract. I enjoyed most of my time. Great benefits, pay is decent but BAH isn't keeping up with inflation at all. If you put in the work you will be rewarded most of the time. Great opportunities can come from it like working at Camp David and the state department. Being a Seabee will open doors.

      Cons

      Being away from family. As a Seabee assigned to sea duty expect to be away on 6 month deployments and another month or two while not deployed. They can be stuck in the past with procedures. E-6s basically delegate the majority of there work to E-5s. Being punished as a group gets old. Rank is and age are very closely tied together so if your older expect staring and dumb questions for years. Quotas to E6 in Bravo type rates is terrible like 1% which is 3 a year. Expect to take 12-15 yrs for most to make E-6 except BUs who make it quicker but have a lot more responsibility. Collaterals are over valued while members don't get enough training due funding issues.
