I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at US Navy (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
When I joined the military, as far as the interview process, it was all pretty simple. You have to fill out some paperwork regarding your background, personal information, and any other things about yourself. Make sure you score well on the ASVAB.
I applied in-person. The process took 12+ months. I interviewed at US Navy (Prescott, AZ)

Apply with over a 55 on your ASVAB and youre golden, I had to wait a whole year in ored to get the job I wanted. So plan accordingly. The goal of these changes is to achieve a healthier, fitter force over the short and long term with more Sailors taking the PRT resulting in fewer failures and better mission readiness.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at US Navy (Tallahassee, FL) in May 2011
Interview
Walked in to the recruiting office and said I was interested in joining the Navy. The recruiter asked me a series of questions pertaining to me physical health, education level, if I had ever done drugs or had any run ins with the law, if I had any tattoos. After answering the series of questions I was given a pre- ASVAB test at the recruiting office. This gives your recruiter an idea of how well you'll do on the actual ASVAB and what kind of rates you should look into before going to MEPS to pick your rating or job in the Navy. After that is completed they'll schedule a time for you to go to MEPS. Usually the process takes only a day or two but it can take up to week or more in some cases, just depends on the situation.
