Pros

pretty good. you get an associates worth on electrical knowledge in the pipeline and get to work on equipment many people never have the opportunity to.

Cons

the training pipeline is really condensed which makes retaining knowledge hard. life on ship gets stressful and time away from family.

Pros

Effectively taught every aspect under the communications umbrella to a more than competent level. Effectively allowing an individual to become a one man media team in terms of knowledge and skill.

Cons

Sometimes leadership can place everything on one persons shoulders, miscommunications lead to large scale rewrites or redo's.
