Pros

Unique opportunity for travel and knowledge growth.

Cons

Each Command (Submarine) is different depending on the chain of command, but many sailors experience similar issues such as: being overworked, not having their solutions to problems heard, scheduling conflicts, and an imbalance of standards. They also say that they care about the mental health of their sailors, however, the only time they voice those concerns is after a sailor has unfortunately committed suicide.

Pros

- Paid twice a week - Health insurance - you get to move around

Cons

- you get degraded constantly - the base pay is basically nothing and the BAH doesn't keep up with the rise of the cost of living - they'll kick you out after 10 years for the mortal sin of being transgender - the health coverage would be great if you didn't have to go to completely incompetent military doctors
