IT was great as long as your not a druggy or ex-convict or dumb as a bag of rocks they have a job for you. I don't know what else to say but apparently its 50-word minimum. That is stupid.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at US Army (Ankeny, IA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Very in depth and lengthy interviewing process. There are drug tests, a sort of IQ Testing, very in depth back ground checks. You must be able to obtain a secret clearance. Everything takes about 10-20 days based on the proficiency of your recruiter. Being honest and keeping your phone on and near you helps speed the process up.
