I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Army (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2014
Interview
Easy. Met with recruiter and a week later I was in basic training. Took a pt redt and a drug test to verify I had not taken any drugs. Took amplitude test and passed and they assigned me mos.
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at US Army (Salt Lake City, UT) in Jun 2011
Interview
There was no interview process. I went to the recruiting station then I went to MEPS. At MEPS I picked my job and was shipped off to basic training. I was required to take the ASVAB test and scored well enough to pick a good job.
