      Pros

      After 6 years in the US Navy, I can say I've seen quite a bit. I've been all over the world, about 20 different countries in Europe, Africa, Middle East, and SE Asia. Benefits are about as good as it gets. The pay is somewhat competitive.

      Cons

      My biggest complaint is you will never be home, especially if you are attached to a ship. I have spent over 50% of my time in the Navy either deployed or underway, preparing to deploy. The Navy has some very good leaders, and they also have some very poor leaders in all pay grades. You're stuck with whoever you get as your supervisor/manager.

      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.
