Pros

You get to serve with some of the funniest and dumbest people you'll ever meet. Benefits aren't that amazing when you're in as you'll barely be able to use them. However, it's the post service benefits that are amazing. You get to have a mission and a goal. Its very easy to save money if you are somewhat financially responsible.

Cons

Work/Life balance is terrible if you're attached to a terrible command The pay is terrible compared to your workload most of the times. You get paid salary essentially and the leadership often could care less if you have to stay late and work on last minute things. Often times, you could even work weekends when you're off "duty" Never get attached to a carrier regardless of location.

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.
