      Pros

      Pride in the organization and mission, unlimited opportunities for personal and professional growth, unrivaled leadership and financial responsibilities. Contrary to what is often heard, the pay for officers is fair.

      Cons

      Long hours at times, a lot of travel and significant periods away from home. Good or bad timing can have a significant affect on career progression.

      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.
