Pros

Interesting work with the potential to live and work at U.S. Embassies in foreign countries. For the most part, the U.S. Navy has a very system for advancement. Adequate to above average compensation. Outstanding job stability. Above average medical benefits.

Cons

As a Navy Foreign Area Officer, your choice of duty assignments can be somewhat limited. Also, most assignments do not take a working spouse into consideration. Assignments can be hard on a family, especially if not all family members enjoy the adventure of living abroad. That being said many families and officers do enjoy the expatriate lifestyle.
