I applied through a recruiter. The process took 11 months. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Weekend at MEPS includes a full physical, contract review, lunch, and a hotel stay. There is blood drawn so be ready if you're afraid of needles. People can be super rude, but get used to it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Is all of your information true? Have you lied on your application?
