Pros
Camaraderie, Experience, service to country and fellow patriots, travel, excellent duty stations. Many resources for education and upward mobility. Allows applying the principles of medicine to where it helps the most, the sailors and marines who need it. Great way to gain experience of a lifetime. To serve an entity that is greater than the sum of all of its components. Serves as a method of discipline and honor. You serve with pride and earn the respect of those around you,
Cons
Family separation. High likelihood of Having to move after completing a tour. Could use more mentorship in the officer ranks. Having to negotiate with a detailed for future assignments, which becomes stressful.
