I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Army (Tampa, FL) in Mar 2011
Interview
Recruiter presented a presentation at my high school and laid out all of the Pros and Cons of joining the military. I then spoke to him one on one regarding the military and he answered all of my questions. Next I began the process and took the ASVAB which is easy and just gives the military a basic impression at what you would be best in. Next I went to MEPS to see if I would be physically in shape to be accepted then after passing that exam I was sworn in and given a date for basic training.
Consisted of a conversation with a recruiter. He made sure I had a pulse, and then introduced me to a lengthy process of paperwork that took months to complete. The recruiter worked with me throughout the process and we remain friends to this day, years later
Easy, MEPS was the most difficult part, especially the medical portion. The paperwork part was easy, most of the interview was complete prior to going. Questions were basic and non-threatening.
