Pros

Free room and board, dental, medical, and a chance to gain a new career/job skill set. You will see the world if you are deployed. Excellent benefits after serving due to the new chapter 33 GIBILL.

Cons

Deployments are 24/7, you work until you hit a port or go home. Even after you hit a port on deployment, you still might be expected to work. Forget about initiative, the Navy is all about sir yes sir. Low pay and sometimes grueling working conditions.

Pros

Serving your country! This is (in and of itself) its own reward. However, you also get money for food, medical/dental (for you and your family), educational benefits, family/mental health counseling, 100% secure VA loans for buying a house, etc.

Cons

Being gone from family for extended periods of time, missing birth of your kids, etc.
