Pros

You get to serve with some of the funniest and dumbest people you'll ever meet. Benefits aren't that amazing when you're in as you'll barely be able to use them. However, it's the post service benefits that are amazing. You get to have a mission and a goal. Its very easy to save money if you are somewhat financially responsible.

Cons

Work/Life balance is terrible if you're attached to a terrible command The pay is terrible compared to your workload most of the times. You get paid salary essentially and the leadership often could care less if you have to stay late and work on last minute things. Often times, you could even work weekends when you're off "duty" Never get attached to a carrier regardless of location.

Pros

Skill opportunities, civilian credential opportunities

Cons

every command is politically motivated. Promotions are assigned based on who is at a command for longer instead of purely merit. Overall, disappointed that the military is not a mertiocracy and more of a, covering your butt, bueracracy
