Pros
After 6 years in the US Navy, I can say I've seen quite a bit. I've been all over the world, about 20 different countries in Europe, Africa, Middle East, and SE Asia. Benefits are about as good as it gets. The pay is somewhat competitive.
Cons
My biggest complaint is you will never be home, especially if you are attached to a ship. I have spent over 50% of my time in the Navy either deployed or underway, preparing to deploy. The Navy has some very good leaders, and they also have some very poor leaders in all pay grades. You're stuck with whoever you get as your supervisor/manager.
