I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at US Army (Lansing, MI) in Mar 2011
Interview
Are you a breathing red blooded American? Do you like Freedom? Have even an ounce of patriotism? Not a complete fat social reject? Do you wanna be a high speed death machine instead of a waste of oxygen? Do you know how to complete a sentence and are not a felony? Your good to go my friend? In-case your IQ is say sub 70 just ask for 11b or cook.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at US Army (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2011
Interview
None really. You go in and talk to a recruiter and they tell you a whole bunch of lies for the most part. After that, they give you a test and if you do better than a veggie, you get in. Then you have to wait forever before you can go to basic combat training because everyone wants to join or something. so yea. long drawn out process with a good bit of benefits.
