Pros

Adventure on the high seas! Booty distribution weighted by performance reviews! We pillage and plunder and don't give a hoot!

Cons

Grog and keelhaulings! The sting of the lash and the ever-present occupational risk of incurred scurvy! Being chosen to climb the crow's nest in adverse meteorological conditions!

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.
