Pros

The job security is amazing and the benefits cannot be beaten. Pension applys when you reach 20 years. You'll be operating some of the most technologically adavanced equipment around. The job is extremely important.

Cons

You will be deployed. I feel that I don't spend enough time with my family. We will leave for six months at a time and still work long hours when we're back in port.

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
