I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at US Navy (Miami, FL) in Aug 2012
Interview
The process is tedious, long hours, long wait of course. The actual talking part is short and the whole overall experience is the very essence of bureaucracy and seemed unnecessary. The interviews were short and answer are expected to be direct and simple. Phone interview is also a regular exchange with yes and no answers with the occasional explanation on why requested by the interviewer on specific answers.
