I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at US Air Force
Interview
The USAF is primarily entry level. Show up to your local recruiter. They will work with you on the details. Ensure you do not have any issues with substance abuse. They will send you to MEPS to get your physical, among other things. Make sure to provide all your documents; birth certificate, social security card, high school diploma or GED, college transcripts if any (you stand the chance of early promotion). Most DEP programs at the recruiters office desire you to meet often with other recruits. This is meant to familiarize you with what to expect at BMT. They will also encourage you to exercise. They will ask you all sorts of questions about your health. There are a few things that can disqualify you. History of mental instability, severe scoliosis, bad criminal history, DUI, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any previous medical issues that you wish to disclose?
Had to do a test and go through a board. All those going for E5 must take a test based on CSCS and air force history. Then you area ked based on score and will promote if you are above cut off.

Interview
Recruiters find you or you find them. MEPS initially screens you health and test scores, Basic Training Screens your ability to learn under pressure considering that you learn it there. Tech school tests you just as any trade school would. My advice, just jump through those hoops without failing and your in.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Air Force (Florence, KY) in Jan 2017
Interview
You talk to a recruiter and they talk with you to assess your temperment, qualifications, and basic personal history. They will schedule you for the ASVAB test which determines what jobs you qualify for. Then what jobs you can select depends on the govt's needs and how long you are willing to wait to get the job you want.
