I applied in-person. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Dallas, TX)
Interview
Don't come in looking for benefits. Tell the recruiter you want to be a Marine and they will do all they can to make it happen for you. Lots of screening and paperwork. Looking for academic performance, athletic past, leadership roles, and high moral character.
