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.

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.
