The interview process is pretty straight forward in that to join the U.S. Navy you must simply contact your local Recruiting Office. You must meet minimum requirements such as height/weight. You must also pass the ASVAB which is an exam for entering military service. Recruiters are very accommodating and helpful in explaining Navy life.
