      NCO Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Camp Pendleton, CA)

      Interview

      Standard interview panel with company level chain of command, asking why you should be promoted. Then a few questions related to common Marine Corps knowledge, and a few pieces of uncommon knowledge. Not a bad process, but ensure you are squared away.

      Question 1

      Why do you deserve to be promoted?

      Anonymous employee
      Lansing, MI
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Lansing, MI) in Jun 2009

      Interview

      Go to a recruiter, they take you to the MEPS office. They perform background checks and test you medically. You have to take an online test. Then you go to boot camp. Once boot camp is over then you have 10 days off and then go back to SOI. Then off to your trade school.
