US Navy reviews

The best reason to work for the navy is that you are given the opportunity to help other people and protect the nation. The work is mostly rewarding, although you may frequently feel that you could do more if given enough latitude.

For a young college graduate, becoming an Officer in the US Navy gives you leadership and management as well as verbal and written communications skills from day one. Benefits above the other services include: world travel, the honor of serving as a warfighter (comparing being a Submariner or Naval Aviator vs. an Army or Air Force Communications Officer), camraderie. The Navy builds all of its officers to be leaders and generalists from day one. That may at times mean you have to succeed with little training, but those who swim and don't sink will find they are better leaders because of it. This also gives certain fields, such as Pilots, experience as budget managers, leading maintenance troops, etc, beyond just flying a plane.
