Pros

If you are strong willed and can manage to be away from home from time to time, the navy is an excellent choice. if you are smart and save, you can be financially secure since day one. Over the course of a 20 year career, if you save as you should and retire with a 20 year pension, your post navy life should be free of any money challenges. Once I leave the navy, i do not plan on working for anyone ever again. Becoming a naval officer was the best decision i have ever made...ever. Retirement is unbeatable...period

Cons

Deployment can ware you down if you are not strong. Time away from family is hard. However, all jobs have there downsides. .

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.
