Pros

The benefits of tuition assistance, health insurance, training, military discipline and structure, and vacation time earned, though not always allowed to use.

Cons

Sea/Shore rotation. On Sea duty, one can expect to be away from their family at least half of the 3-5 years (enlisted) and 2-3 years (officer).

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.
