I applied in-person. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Ogdensburg, NY)
Interview
No interview, but the recruiter put me on the Delayed Entry Program for six months to get into shape. During that time I had to show progress before I shipped off to boot camp.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No question was really difficult. I was prepared not to go open contract, WHICH NO ONE SHOULD EVER GO, and never feel you HAVE to go Infantry just to prove yourself. I see too many people get out after four years with no job prospects and all they did was infantry.
