I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Navy (Portland, OR)
Interview
The recruiter came to my home and escorted me to the office. The people at the office were courteous and professional. It wasn't really much of an interview- more like gathering the required information. Didn't have to prove that I knew the job already. They gave me an aptitude test to see what types of jobs I qualified for.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Montgomery, AL) in Jan 2012
Interview
Interview process was lengthy but relatively easy. You go to a recruiter, they embellish the truth a bit, you pick a job, sign some papers and off to processing you go. There they do a full medical workup and check everything to make sure you are physically fit and healthy enough for service. From there you get your ship date to recruit training and so begins your career for the next four or more years.
