I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Air Force (Detroit, MI) in May 2011
Interview
You meet with a recruiter and they want to make sure you have a 90 or higher asvab prac score before they continue on with the nuclear field. After finishing this process they set you up to go to MEPS to be further interviewed and see if you are qualified to get the job you want.
