I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Marine Corps
Interview
The application process is fairly straightforward. Fill out the application, write the essay, run a PFT, submit your transcripts, submit to background check, go to MEPS, and wait on selection results. Once selected, you go to OCS. Pass OCS and you commission. Overall, the application process is not very difficult. The difficulty comes in having the competitive scores to be selected by the board to attend OCS. Once you go to OCS, you just have to do what they tell you as soon as they tell you to do it, and you will be fine.
