I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Army (Louisville, KY) in Jan 2011
Interview
Required to pass background check and ASVAB test. The entire process from test to physical to approximately a week from the time I made my decision to join. The ASVAB was not too difficult but I did get a good nights rest before the test. My experience at MEPS was good because I didn't have any health issues.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Did you lie about anything in your medical history or background
Easy…..just alot of paperwork. Look for medical and testing scores. Also looked at jobs I wanted. Would say the worst part was a fitness test. I would highly recommend honesty
Sit down with a recruiter and they ask questions and tell you your next steps. May need physical or take a test, Will fo over options like terms, roles and responsibilities.
It was a decent interview. Pretty easy, have the sense they are really looking to recruit new people. Would not be too worried about preparing a lot of information beforehand.
