      Pros

      It's a great feeling to serve your country, and to be part of a team dedicated to a noble purpose.

      Cons

      Frequent time away from family, large percent of jobs require shift work, weekends, etc. There are still a lot of "dinosaurs" in senior leadership positions who are reluctant to accept new technologies, and/or think the way it was done when "they were Seamen" is the only way.

      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.
