I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at US Army (Burlington, VT) in Jan 2016
Interview
There was no interview. I just submitted an application to the program and was accepted out of high school. I don't recall any formal interview process beyond the written application.
The interview process was straightforward but memorable—equal parts formal questioning and making sure I understood the commitment I was signing up for. It involved discussing qualifications, expectations, and ensuring I was mentally and physically prepared. Looking back, it was less about “passing an interview” and more about confirming I was ready to serve.

Real cool, real fun, sleep at a hotel the night before. Free continental breakfast in the morning. Free bus ride too. Duck walk not cool. Sign paper, say bye to family.
