I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at US Navy
Interview
Invited to DC to interview. Had technical interviews with three SESs and a final interview with the Director. The technical interviews were 45 minutes and largely focused on calculus and physics problems, but there was also a good amount of time spent in discussion. There is a fit process going on throughout the whole interview.

Out of the various officer career paths in the nuclear Navy (Fleet Officer, Power School Instructor, and Nuclear Engineer), why do you want to be a Nuclear Engineer.
I applied online. I interviewed at US Navy (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
The recruiter lets you take an aptitude test, asks for basic information such as your education, and you have to go through medical screening and boom you're enrolled. Note, this is not an engineering position by any sense of the word. Nuclear engineer is a technician position and you have to go through a year of trade school.

Interview
Show up to recruiting office, take test and if you’re smart enough sign paperwork for nuclear option. Need to be drug free and a clean background check to sign up for this job.
