      Pros

      It is work that truly deoes make a difference and save lives. There are events happing in the world that I have access to which no one else will see. I have also bee to almost every continent on the planet and had a great time while I was there.

      Cons

      In order to make a difference, you have to deal with almost insurmountable levels of red tape, and others who don't really want to do anything. The poicy of moving officers around every several years is a good idea to educate leadership in different areas, but once you have figured out what you are doing (the Navy normally plunges you into jobs which you have no training for) you are moved to a new job that you have no training for.

      Pros

      The Navy is a place to show your pride in your Country. I think it is the beast place to do your patriotic duty. This is because Sailors are often the first impression of our military that foreign nations see. We pull into port at hundreds of different locations all over the world. So when we interact with the local population in a foreign country, we are the example to the rest of the world. So when we act professional and show courtesy we are received well. If we act like idiots then you get the picture. So as a Sailor in the US Navy you get the privilege to be an ambassador for your country.

      Cons

      A lot of time away from family. As a Sailor you sometimes are fortunate to enjoy shore duty. The hours are the usual 40+ and you get to go home every night. That changes dramatically with Sea Duty. At sea you are gone from home for six months at a time or more if the situation requires. The hours are 12 on and 12 off if you are lucky. Sometimes you work for two or three weeks before you see a port of call. Port visits do make it worthwhile though. The Navy makes a lot of effort to get all Sailors to rotate regularly between shore and sea duty. You got to love serving your Country, the personal rewards are great.
