Went to see a recruiter and listened to the sales pitch. I had a pulse, passed the ASVAB and was medically qualified. Pretty easy. Went to boot camp a month later. That was not so easy.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at US Marine Corps
Interview
There is no interview process. Show up, figure out what job you could picture yourself doing (infantry is the best IMO) and go about doing all the necessary paperwork in order to sign your life away for four years. Remember that.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Oklahoma City, OK)
Interview
Long and lengthy process. Don't expect to start that day. Recruiters will say lots of things that may or may not be true. Lots of screens and tests before you can get a date.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Olean, NY)
Interview
Introductory ASVAB examination to found what jobs you are qualified for, then 3 months of boot camp in Parris Island, SC and 3 months of Infantry School (ITB) in Camp Lejeune, NC
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to go to infantry when you can do almost any job in the Marines?
