Pros

The benefits and the opportunities available in the Navy are hard to beat. Plus, in economic times like these, the job stability is a plus!

Cons

Extremely demanding hours and work environment at times. I'm a Surface Warfare Officer, and in addition to 6+ month deployments that you will encounter every 18-24 months, there is also duty days and "work-ups" in which the ship will also spend time at sea and away from home. The demands of the military are also very stressful, and you have to be very flexible with your own time.

Pros

Effectively taught every aspect under the communications umbrella to a more than competent level. Effectively allowing an individual to become a one man media team in terms of knowledge and skill.

Cons

Sometimes leadership can place everything on one persons shoulders, miscommunications lead to large scale rewrites or redo's.
