I initially met an officer recruiter and filled out basic paperwork. I had to take a test that is called the Aviation Selection Test Battery to determine if I was a competitive applicant other than my GPA from college. Next step was medical at MEPS, which was painful. After MEPS, I completed the application for commission and SF-86 for my security clearance. Application was presented to a board and determined if I received a commission or not.

Applying to be a commissioned officer in the military (specifically the Navy, as this is my service) is completely different than civilian organizations. You may never meet the hiring manager when you interview. I have interviewed many people to become an officer, through different commissioning programs. I have completed a standard interviewing appraisal for each applicant that is then sent off to a hiring board for consideration.
