Interview Details – See the recruiter and be as truthful as possible.

Negotiation Details – none to speak of

Interview Details – This is neither, it is a position that is granted by both the command sergeant major and the battalion commander who will determine if you qualify and have the competence to lead Soldiers into combat. If selected there is a 24 month requirement to say on as the senior enlisted advisor before you can move onto another position.

Negotiation Details – no nagotiation, had to take the job!

Interview Details – Went to a recruiter's office and he explained what I needed to gain entry Military. Bank account, fitness level, paper work, and mind mentality. He was very helpful and did all he could do get me in. I am very fortuneate to have had him as a recruiter.

Negotiation Details – I wanted a different job but was not given many options. I sucked at the negotiation phase.

Interview Details – Talk to a recruiter. If you met the basic requirements of GT score with no felonies you are in after you complete Basic and AIT.

Interview Details – Be HONEST with your recruiter. They are there to help, and if you are not qualified, they will let you know

Negotiation Details – Don't think you can negotiate for bonuses very much. Your recruiter WILL let you know what is available. They receive no compensation for "putting more people in boots" or denying you a bonus. If it is available for the job you are looking for, it will be offered to you.

Interview Details – As long as your qualified and meet the height and weight restrictions the us army is a great place to begin serving your country. the interview process is fairly cut and dry as we are an all volunteer force

Interview Details – the hiring process was great. a simple trip to an army recruitor will make the process flow real easy. One simple test and you could qualify over 200 jobs in the Army today.

Negotiation Details – none

Interview Details – My process of enlisting actually reflects the Army fairly well now that I think about it. My recruiter took care only of the initial paperwork to ensure that wasn't a criminal, drug addict, or invalid. After that, getting him to actually do some work for me to ensure my enlistment went smoothly was impossible. He cost me several days of pay needlessly due to his inattention of what was required for my specific job. Someone else in his office had to take care of me. From time I completed the enlistment process, I had to wait 7 months before I finally shipped out.

Interview Details – Infantry Team Leader is not an entry level position. In the military you must start from the bottom (or near it) and work your way up. To start it off you need to speak with a recruiter. Your recruiter will help you pick an MOS (Military Occupational Specialty), which is army jargon for job (Pick Infantry (11B)), setup mandatory tests, physicals, background checks, etc. You will take the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) before the recruiter can confirm your job choice. The higher the score, the more jobs that will be available to you. Don't get wrapped up about your score. I have met people with high scores that were idiots and people with low scores that were brilliant. After picking a job, taking the ASVAB, changing your job choice, if necessary, you will eventually get dates to go to MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station). At MEPS you will take your physical, do a drug test, and, if all goes well, reconfirm your job choice and swear an oath of enlistment. You will then be given dates to report back to MEPS to leave for Basic Training and AIT (Advanced Individual Training), which is your job-specific training. Some MOS's, like Infantry, do Basic and AIT all in one. This program is called OSUT (One Station Unit Training). If you successfully complete Basic Training and AIT, or OSUT, you will then be given orders to report to your first Duty Station. Congratulations, you're now in the Army.
A couple hints/tips:
Do your research; do not take everything your recruiter says as gospel. You can find out almost anything about the Army and MOS's on the internet.
You are not a soldier until you complete Basic Training.
If you fail any of the major requisites, you can be "recycled" to one of a series of "waypoints" or possibly all the way back to the beginning, depending on why. If whatever the reason is bad enough, they may just send you home packing.
You will likely have a chance to take leave between graduation and reporting to your unit.
Work hard, be in the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform, act like an adult, be disciplined and respectful and you will be successful! The Army, much like any job, has it's bad times and it's good times, but it is an EXCELLENT stepping stone into the rest of your life. Good luck!

Negotiation Details – You MAY have a chance to negotiate things like: MOS, Bonus, Schools (Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger[contract rider], Special Forces[contract rider], etc), Education benefits, etc. Do not let your recruiter or the in-processors at MEPS push you around! If you are not satisfied with what you are being offered and it looks as though there can be no compromise, walk away.
