Pros

Serving in the US Navy provides a sense of patriotism and allows you to contribute to the defense of the greatest country in the world. The expirience and skills you gain through Naval Service are unique, yet highly transferable. The Navy still forges leaders that the private sector is eager to tap.

Cons

Advancement is based on timing. Pay is unrelated to job performance. Long deployments away from family can be very difficult.

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.
