I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Camp Pendleton, CA)
Interview
Standard interview panel with company level chain of command, asking why you should be promoted. Then a few questions related to common Marine Corps knowledge, and a few pieces of uncommon knowledge. Not a bad process, but ensure you are squared away.
