I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Knoxville, TN) in Jan 2011
Interview
Asvab test, medical review, physical test, one on one interview with the recruiter, asvab score determines your job eligibility. Medical review looks at your previous medical records. Physical test determines your eligibility for service. They look at your mental health records as well now. You usually apply online and then go into a recruiting station.
Quick and easy. Very little effort and they were ready to sign the papers within the hour. The testing portion was the only difficult part. Quick and easy. Very little effort and they were ready to sign the papers within the hour. The testing portion was the only difficult part.
The interview process required to join the united states navy is a complex, complicated, and paper work filled haze. There is the ASVAB test, and quite a few other pre qualifications. See your local recruiter.
