Dental, medical covered Great pay Housing covered Career opportunities for when you leave

Cons

Depending on the platform, you'll easily work 90+ hour weeks at times. High stress; this community will punish you for even minor errors, to include forfeiture of half pay, confinement to the vessel, and permanent reduction in rank.

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.
