I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Jacksonville, NC) in Sept 2011
Interview
Carreer retention specialists tell you a whole bunch of crap, they never know what they are talking about or what is good for you and they don't care. Your just a number or a check in the box for them and thats it. My interview took 5 mins and I knew more going in then I did comming out.
