I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Army (Cambridge, MA) in Jun 2009
Interview
Recruitment is straight forward. If you are a US Citizen, no criminal background and at least a GED, you get the job. One caveat, there is a placement exam called the ASVAP. If you score well on this, your job opportunities are almost endless, if you do not, well, they become very limited.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Army (Fort Carson, CO) in Mar 2009
Interview
Ensure you study 3-4 months in advance for the board. I actually was so caught up in reviewing all the army regs that I forgot to stay up on current affairs ( I was deployed at the time). The best advice is to practice, practice, practice. In front of the mirror or family and friends, it's well worth it.
