I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Navy (Overland Park, KS)

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever done any drugs? Have you ever been convicted of any crimes?
They basically care about your academic prestige and honorary achievements. If you are an above average student you will be in good shape to land this internship. The people asking the questions are very forthcoming and understanding when you you are speaking.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at US Navy in Oct 2015
Interview
If there is openings you will go. If you do not have a felony or a face tattoo then you should be fine. Do your research before selecting this career path as it is so over saturated and making rank and earning promotions can be extremely difficult.
