Pros

Job satisfaction from the standpoint that your job is important to our country's security and stability. Most people aren't willing to serve their country. So, those who are tend to be very proud and confident in their choice. Because of this, the people you work with are usually very reliable and competent.

Cons

Separation from family and friends. That is the only downside, in my opinion.

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.
