Pros

Benifits Good colleagues Great Friends Travel to cool places Lead amazing sailors

Cons

Always gone Long Hours (A 12 hour day is referred to as a "half day" Careerist bosses No sleep Endless meetings Given the same amount of independence as an infant Given more work with less people and no budget because all the senior "yes men" that don't actually have to produce any results refuse to say no to anything.

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.
