I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at US Navy (Columbia, SC) in Jun 2009
Interview
Recruiting process is standard throughout the military. US Navy is no different. ASVAB testing, in-processing including urinalysis, medical and dental screening are typical. Criminal background checks are also standard. Some variances in misdemeanors are waived depending on the nature of the offenses. Processing is conducted in large groups of 30 or more. Hope you aren't shy about being in your underwear with complete strangers.
Quick and easy. Very little effort and they were ready to sign the papers within the hour. The testing portion was the only difficult part. Quick and easy. Very little effort and they were ready to sign the papers within the hour. The testing portion was the only difficult part.
The interview process required to join the united states navy is a complex, complicated, and paper work filled haze. There is the ASVAB test, and quite a few other pre qualifications. See your local recruiter.
