Pros

Working for the U.S Navy has provided a plethora of career growth opportunities within various stages of engineering from acquisition to operations and sustainment. In addition,certain engineering groups provide the opportunity to not only support the war fighter directly, but allow you to travel and see the world.

Cons

With any government organization be it state to federal one has to deal with lots of red tape. The prevalence of a high rate of nepotism is persistent within the federal government, and time in grade ideology is supported to scale back salary increase.

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.
