Pros

The Navy is a great option for someone looking to gain experience in a chosen field. The education and skills learned from most jobs in the Navy can take years and cost thousands to achieve.

Cons

Success in the Navy is all about timing. When times are difficult, you must remember that people and regimes come and go everyday in the Navy. If you're the type of person who can embrace and flourish in an ever changing workplace, you'll be fine. Another con of the Navy is time away from family and loved ones.

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.
