Pros

A lot of opportunities are opened to you. You're able to experience the world and see it from a perspective you never have before. Learn good work ethic. And if you choose to get out, make sure you have a plan but have this on your resume makes employers look at you.

Cons

Your freedom is literally stripped away. It doesn't matter if you don't want to do something, don't like something, or maybe even have other obligations. You will miss so many family functions and sacrifice a lot of personal things that you identify with. You lose a little bit of yourself, but you become stronger.

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.
