Pros

Excellent place to learn leadership skills. Learn from different styles. Responsibility for very young age is very common. Team Work is very good. Fast Pace lifestyle. Diverse community

Cons

Pay sucks, You work long hours. If there is overtime then this would not be an issue. Advancement sucks. Quota for advancement is very restricted. Politics (though it never bothered me, i just worked hard and mind'd my own business) Quality of living if you ware enlisted is awful. Go officer, they have better food for dinner.

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.
