I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at US Army (Houston, TX) in Sep 2009
Interview
Find a good recruiter, study what you want before so you don't get swept into one idea or what just open. You're investing yourself into it for at least the next three years, so do what you will have a passion for. It will pull you through when you think can't. MEPS, inprocessing, health background . . . All worth it.
Recruiter, ASVAB and physcial fitness is all checked out.
it was hard, took a while to understand the questions. I had to think very very hard. How to deal with a difficult employee? I spoke to them and we came to a conclusion.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Army in Nov 2020
