Pros

It's a great feeling to serve your country, and to be part of a team dedicated to a noble purpose.

Cons

Frequent time away from family, large percent of jobs require shift work, weekends, etc. There are still a lot of "dinosaurs" in senior leadership positions who are reluctant to accept new technologies, and/or think the way it was done when "they were Seamen" is the only way.
