Met with military recruiter, studied and practiced ASVAB test (basic skills test on admin, mechanical, electrical and general knowledge), went through background and credit checks, went to MEPS for medical qualifications, signed the dotted line and got sent to boot camp two months later. Overall, very general experience. Recruiter was helpful in finding study guides for ASVAB test since I had not been in school for over a year prior to originally taking the test.
