I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Navy (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Took the asvab, scored high seventies. Whatever quota they have to fill for jobs, it will be the jobs offered, given you have a high enough of a score. You can say no and wait next month. They have a high quantity of people to go through in meps where they process you so some people are very rude.
