Pros

Benefits are outstanding, including health insurance for self and family, ample opportunity for time off when not otherwise operationally engaged, access to tax-free Exchange shopping and low commissary (grocery) prices. Sense of satisfaction inherent to the job. Culture of fitness and adventure, including access to gyms around the world, as well as races and adventure trips coordinated by Morale, Wellness, and Recreation (MWR), a component that exists specifically to promote fitness and activities.

Cons

Sometimes you have to go to war.

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.
