I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Army (Austin, TX) in May 2011
Interview
Recruiter asks if you want to join the army. You say yes You go to the office do A LOT of paperwork during which they promise you things but never put them in the contract, so you get stuck with whatever they feel like at the moment.
Easy…..just alot of paperwork. Look for medical and testing scores. Also looked at jobs I wanted. Would say the worst part was a fitness test. I would highly recommend honesty
Sit down with a recruiter and they ask questions and tell you your next steps. May need physical or take a test, Will fo over options like terms, roles and responsibilities.
It was a decent interview. Pretty easy, have the sense they are really looking to recruit new people. Would not be too worried about preparing a lot of information beforehand.
