Easy…..just alot of paperwork. Look for medical and testing scores. Also looked at jobs I wanted. Would say the worst part was a fitness test. I would highly recommend honesty
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at US Army (New London, CT) in Jan 2012
Interview
Recruiter will ask a ton of questions to determine your eligibility. It's not a difficult "interview" per se, but you will need a good deal of patience to satisfy the screening requirements. Only about 25% of the American population is deemed eligible to enlist, based on medical, background screening, physical fitness levels, etc.... so it's not an easy process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Several questions about background/criminal record if any/medical history.
Sit down with a recruiter and they ask questions and tell you your next steps. May need physical or take a test, Will fo over options like terms, roles and responsibilities.
It was a decent interview. Pretty easy, have the sense they are really looking to recruit new people. Would not be too worried about preparing a lot of information beforehand.
