Pros

Great opportunities and benefits, the pay is good and you will learn lot of important life skills such as teamwork and leadership. you will make several life long relationships.

Cons

Downsides to being in the navy is the long periods away from home, the long working hours, and being micro-managed pretty much every step of the way. However if you don't mind hard-work ti is definitely worth it

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.
