I applied through a recruiter. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Lubbock, TX) in Dec 2018
Interview
Took a placement test, scored too high for the job i wanted. I was told that i had to be in the navy's nuclear program or get out of the office. I joined the program so that i could join the navy. If you can do high school level math you can join the program, you will be forced into it if you score to high on the test.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Navy (El Paso, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
Meet with recruiter, do paperwork, sign for jobs Navy has to offer, take the oath and ship to boot camp. Complete boot camp and follow up with schools you choose with your rate. Finish that and go to your final destination.
I applied online. I interviewed at US Navy in Mar 2020
Interview
Still waiting. Seems to have a quick turn around on the phone interview but the onsite seems to be taking a lot longer. Lack of communication seems to be the industry norm. Most of the work has been on my end.
