I applied in-person. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at US Army
Interview
I walked into the nearest Military Entry Point (MEP) station. I told them, "I'd like to become a Soldier." The process was very easy, they collected my information and since I was only 17 yrs old they were required to contact my parents to proceed. I was given a date to be all packed up and ready for pick up to be shipped to the Basic Combat Training Course.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The Recruiter asked me what skills do I have and of those skills, which are you good at? I was required to take a practice test just to gauge where I was at and give them an idea of where I'd fit in.
The Recruiter provided me with study material for the ASVAB and even offered to work with me on my physical fitness. The ASVAB provided the Recruiter with information on my specific skill set and gauged what MOS I'd do well in.
