I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at US Air Force in Mar 2009
Interview
Met one on one with a person to talk over things and see skill sets, got a basic idea of what to expect from basic training and overall military life. Recruiter prepared documents and got you ready to leave for TX to start your military life.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Air Force in Aug 2010
Interview
I had to prove I was worthy for the job. I had about 3 months to convince leadership that I had the knowledge skill maturity, tenacity to carry out the duties that were assigned. It was a grueling work schedule and the people assigned to work with me were terrible. I got the job.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Air Force in Feb 2011

The interview process was great. The Colonel who was interviewing me was very kind and easy to talk to. I was very at ease even when it came to the more difficult questions.
