Pros

Life as a helicopter crewman can be rewarding. The training and operations can be anything from thrilling to mundane. Your peers are usually mentally sharp and reliable.

Cons

You will have long hours and sometimes your days are random. You may no know what tomorrows flight schedule looks like until 4pm the day before, so it can be difficult if you have children. This is not for single parents because the schedule and deployment cycle are too hectic.

Pros

If you're a psychologist or an aspiring psychologist, the Navy is a fantastic option to do something you love while serving a greater purpose, sometimes referred to as the "most deserving patients" around.

Cons

Little control over where you'll call home, difficult place for promotion given focus on tenure and deliverables not associated with purely clinical work.

Pros

Adventure on the high seas! Booty distribution weighted by performance reviews! We pillage and plunder and don't give a hoot!

Cons

Grog and keelhaulings! The sting of the lash and the ever-present occupational risk of incurred scurvy! Being chosen to climb the crow's nest in adverse meteorological conditions!
