Pros
The US Navy provides an amazing opportunity to succeed for any one who is willing to put in the effort. There can't be many employers who have an advancement program like the US military. You performance has a direct effect on advancement and pay increases are guaranteed! All allowances are tax free. These include allowances for housing, food, family separation, hazardous duty, etc. All your pay is tax free when you are working in certain designated parts of the world.
Cons
You are away from home upwards of 50% of the time. You will be deployed away from home for roughly six months of every 1.5 to 2 years.
