The interview process is mostly to determine if you qualify to be a Soldier. As long as you can get a minimal score on a test called the ASVAB, then you can qualify. Other requirements are to not have any felonies or charges that do not meet minimal standards.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at US Army (Fort Knox, KY) in Apr 2014
Interview
A Human Resources specialist initially sent me an email describing a choice I had between being assigned to Huntsville, AL or Fort Polk, LA. I responded "I prefer Huntsville, AL" in a email reply. The next day I called the Human Resources specialist and inquired as to whether or not my response had been received. It was received and the Human Resource specialist informed me that I would be assigned to Huntsville, AL and to make the necessary arrangements to move.
