I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Navy (Flushing, NY)
Interview
The various jobs are offered based on an aptitude test known as the ASVAB. Based on the results of the ASVAB, they will let you choose from a handful of jobs that you qualify for.
as you work your way up the ladder you will continuously go through oral boards and have to work on your qualifications. as you make it closer to the higher ranks you start to understand the politics a little more but it still doesnt make sense to give up your loyalty to the people below you for the greater good of the ship
Went to MEPS, had a physical, took ASVAB, chose a job, wen to bootcamp, went to a-school, then went to the fleet. Spent 25 years fighting first the communist, then Muslim extremist, and being subject to many social experiments to make us a kinder and gentler Navy.
