Recruitment process is rather stringent, but not really difficult. Lots of forms, papers, a rigmarole. You have to pass a physical, take a drug test, take a basic skill proficiency test just to get into the military, with jobs available depending on your scores. The higher your scores, the more jobs available. Other specialized jobs have other specialized tests you'll have to pass if you want to be considered for those positions.
