I applied in-person. The process took a year or more. I interviewed at US Air Force (Spokane, WA) in Jan 2011
Interview
1.5 years of grueling training including physical and psychological aspects that you won't get in any other field outside of special operations. Prepare yourself for the most intense requirements and expectations and though they set the standards, you must meet them alone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you like to hunt, camp, train hard and think for yourself?
