the navy isn't for everyone

pro's you get free health insurance, job security, get to see the world, free education

cons if you are stationed on a ship you spend at least 6 months a year out to sea when you go on a 6 month cruise, not very good pay when you first start out

[Joe from WI]

For him the pro's will be seeing the world, getting training he can really use in the real world. A Navy career is hard work. But there are perks.
You'll treasure it when you do get to see him, but you won't see a lot of him. He might get stationed in South Korea or Japan.
It might be lonely for you, so you should stay busy while he is away.
