| Military Officer |
Interview processes are not really applicable to the military.
Personnel are assigned by 'branch' managers based on personnel files
without seeing the personnel.
It is possible to affect one's assignment, but only through personal
interaction with the branch managers, i.e., hoping for a favor.
There are three avenues to a standard commission (not legal, medical,
or clergy): ROTC, OCS, and West Point. OCS is a 14 week school for
current enlisted soldiers. ROTC is a program in colleges including
summer training. Service academies including West Point are 4-year
colleges with a strong military program that leads to a mandatory
commission for all graduates. One significant difference is that West
Point graduates can (in most cases) choose their job function
(Infantry, Transportation, Military Intelligence) and location, and OCS
and ROTC graduates (in most cases) are assigned randomly to jobs and
locations.
