So the hiring and interview process isn't super complicated. First, you gotta go to your local U.S. Army Recruiting Office and chat with the recruiters. You'll talk to the Army National Guard Recruiter, the Army Reserve Recruiter, and the Active Duty Army Recruiter. They're all gonna try to get you to join their part of the organization, so you just gotta figure out what you want and see what they've got for you. Then you take the ASVAB to get a score that tells you what jobs you're good at. Once you have that score, you'll know which jobs you can 'apply' for. You pick your job, sign the papers, and boom, you're hired!

- The hardest part is talking about your criminal history. Don't lie because they'll find out anyway. If you don't have any criminal history, you'll be fine.

The interview process was easy, just be completely honest. Be upfront and tell anything that you may belief to be an issue. It was very easy and straight forward. Make sure you dress to impress and smell good, as that helps with your resume.
