I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Navy (West Palm Beach, FL) in Aug 2012
Interview
Long medical, background, and education checks. Initial interviews with a recruiter followed by application through the Military Entrance Processing centers. Obviously there were drug tests before hand and also screening for tattoos. This is for basic entry into the Navy. Higher clearance levels require more thorough screenings.

Can you pass a drug test. Are you a felon. You will go out to sea all the time. Yes you will move away. Yes you will go over to other countries.
It was amazing! Make sure you are ready to leave your safety net and explore new adventures. The physical test is not as easy as you would think. There are a lot of other people from all over the US that you will see as well.
