I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Army
Interview
Visited with Army Recruiter. The recruiter then took me to MEPS for testing including the ASVAB, physical exam, finger printing and swearing in. They provided lodging, transportation and meals for the trip to MEPS. When MEPS was complete I was provided a plane ticket to the Basic Combat Training location.

Question 1
Credit was reviewed and they asked if I had a criminal record.
Take the ASVAB and see what you qualify for. The recruiter will let you know what you can do or if there is a wait for certain jobs. Choose those that interest you and search Reddit for first hand experiences.
I applied through university. I interviewed at US Army (Cincinnati, OH) in May 2024
Interview
Four officers interviewed me to see if I was a good candidate for OCS. There was an O4 and three O3s. They asked me leadership and life experience questions. Keeping the answers short is important because no one wants to hear your life story.
