I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Army (Fort Lewis, VA) in May 2013
Interview
The hiring process is outlined, but do not think that is the way it goes. You can do all the thing you are supposed to do, and so them well, but if you do not already have the connection or know some one... you will get no where in the profession of arms.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Lieutenant, is your Platoon ready to go to war tonight?
straightforward process, worked with recruiter and filled out/submitted necessary paperwork in timely manner to expedite entry process. Contacted recruiter on a weekly basis at minimum to ensure paperwork did not get lost or fall through the cracks
