Interviewed Oct 2010 in Sacramento, CA (took 3 weeks)
The interview was package based using a number of forms and identification. This consisted of a preliminary background questionnaire, educational background, medical history, and certain agreements to be made before progressing. After that package is submitted and accepted, then we are gather together for an interview either one on one or with a board where they ask very pointed questions about your personal life and desire to serve in the military. Questions range from leadership scenarios to simply describing previous experiences that you have excelled at and why those translate into you being a good military officer.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3 days)
I met a Recruiter, they got me sent to MEPS were I was checked out and everything was fine. A bit later They got me down to Texas were Basic Training Started. Basic sucked but was not impossible, just stick with it and don't let the TI get in your head. Most anyone can do the physical work but the hard part is keeping your mind together.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 months)
My resume was offered and accepted. I followed up, but had no official response. Two months later, I received a phone call from the Program Manager's Executive Assistant to Schedule an interview. I called the Program Manager at the designated time. We reviewed my resume and he asked me what I knew about the program. I had executed a thorough Internet search, beforehand, and was able to talk about the program with ease. Additionally, I talked to workers at the facility and was impressed with their easy-going, but professional environment.The final result of the interview was that the program manager would invite me for a visit to the facility to meet the team and receive a formal presentation.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Holloman Air Force Base, NM (took a day)
To be offered a commission in the Air Force as an officer is different than enlisting in the military. First and foremost, you have to have a minimum of a 4 year bachelor degree, but it can be in various professions. The jobs available upon entry are more consistent with middle management and most times you will be responsible for a group of enlisted people who will work for you. There is an interview with a military officer who will ask various questions about your past history, to include any drug history, as you will face a background investigation for a security clearance. These days it is harder and harder to be offered a commission.

There isn't much to negotiate. You have to be willing to go anywhere and the pay is on a set pay scale. You can go to military.com in order to look at the pay charts. What isn't listed is the different pay for the different locations and countries, the extra pay you will receive for food and housing and any special pay and bonus you could be eligible for as well.
