Business outlook
Pros
Most of the enlisted sailors and fellow junior officers will be some of the finest people you could ever have the chance to work with. The bonds that are created during stressful inspection cycles and deployments will last for years to come, if not a lifetime, and the stories you bring home are worth the trip.
Cons
The inspection and deployment cycles on a ship can be stressful and rigorous due to impossibly short deadlines and emergent tasking. This, coupled with long periods of boredom and downtime, can lead to burning people out, especially junior sailors.
