Accelerate your life. I joined the Navy as a young 17 year old knucklehead, but I've developed into a strong leader. - Project Manager US Navy Employee Review

Pros

See the world. I've been to Hawaii, Japan, Philippines, Bahrain, Phuket, Australia, and Bali. I've worked with some outstanding brave young men and women. Good promotion, and the best benefits in America.

Cons

Very very long hours when deployed and while doing workups. Also, there is the small chance of being injured or killed in a peacetime accident or war. It does happen. Several of my friends have not come back home.

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.
