I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at US Army (Bakersfield, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
There isn't really an interview process. Just a medical and physical process to determine that you are physically able to handle the job. If you aren't medically or physically able to handle the certain job, then they will find an alternate job that fits you.
You speak with a recruiter and they ensure you are clear to join. Afterwards you go to your MEPS and they do a very in depth health exam to include mental health. It is important that you be honest throughout the entire process. I tried to leave information out and it prolonged the process.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at US Army (Birmingham, AL) in Apr 2016
Interview
Go to meps then proceed to ruin the next (enter however many years of your life you signed away). Then proceed to find ways out early and after that fails then you will be ready to inform the public.
