      Pros

      Decent Benefits, but you work way too many hours for them. And Navy medical is a joke. I'd rather give myself an operation than let those quacks touch me.

      Cons

      Terrible Management DEPLOYMENT Terrible Pay No recognition Achieving rank is a popularity contest If you're happy working 90+ hours a week, then this is the job for you

      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.
