Pros

I was able to travel the world and meet a lot of different people. The positions I was placed in put me in leadership roles at a very early stage in my career. Additionally the benefits allowed me to support my family, increase my education, and buy my first house.

Cons

Deployments are tough on family. You are gone more than you probably think while on shore duty. Each week you have duty and stay on the ship. Every other week you are underway for training.

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.
