I applied in-person. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at US Army (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2013
Interview
Walking into a recruiter offie is your initial contact and the closest thing to an interview that the Army has. And you know how to tell a recruiter is lying? His (or her) lips are moving. They will tell you whatever you want to hear and promise you all sorts of crazy stuff that you want and there is about a 99% chance that you will experience exactly NONE of it.
great interview not hard at all joined before 9-11 and they would take anyone without question. I enjoyed the process because it was easy. A guy looked at your hole and you walked funny for a little.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at US Army (Tomball, TX)
Interview
My recruiter was not very helpful, he was actually pretty bad. I pretty much walked in during the surge and said I was ready to go and wanted to be in combat arms. From there it was pretty easy they didn't try to convince me but were ready to just run me through the pipe line.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Army (Danville, KY)
Interview
Just going to a local MEPS station, conducting your physical and filling out a lot of paperwork. Once everything is said and done it is a very easy process to continue and get into the service. Be in decent shape before talking to a recruiter, so you can enter the service in better physical shape than most.
