Pros

Good benefits (medical/dental), great opportunity to travel and see the world. Housing and subsustence allowances given in addition to salary. Promotion relatively easy to get.

Cons

Constant requirement to relocate. Treated like 5 year olds in some regards when it comes to taking vacation or going to another country. Not family friendly in my opinion.

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.
