I applied in-person. I interviewed at US Navy (Arlington, TX) in Sep 2013
Interview
You can go into any Navy Recruiter or call any Navy recruitment office and they will be able to assist you. You will walk in, show the Sailors you are serious and take a test to see what jobs you qualify for. The recruiters will assist you with almost everything but you will have to show some incentive.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Raleigh, NC) in Aug 2020
Interview
The Navy will let you in if you are qualified. Just talk with a recruiter and they will work with you. The interview is pretty easy. The interview will go over what you want to get out of the navy and what they can do for you.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Pittsburgh, PA)
Interview
They asked you what you like to do and they will try to match it up with many Navy jobs. Many jobs from logistics, engineering, intelligence, technicals and mechanical jobs. Practically, what ever job you think of, the Navy probably have it.
