I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Navy (Kansas City, MO) in Sept 2011
Interview
Good, I saw a recruiter in my school who set up an appt. I got information regarding benefits packages and became interested. I went to a MEPS station and was sworn in. I left for Basic Training within a month of selecting my job.
Easy straight to the point. If you are interested in joining the navy make sure you score good on your asvab. The recruiter will keep stressing that on you. Good luck
Wonderful process from start to finish. The recruiter was thorough in every aspect of the onboarding process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an opportunity to change their life and make their family proud.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Great Lakes, IL)
Interview
I tend to think the interview process was a bit more aggressive than I would have hoped for. I'm not too sure they were happy I was there. I don't think they even offered me a soda.
