It completely depends on a multitude of things.
Your recruiter has to do a complete background check on you, a smart one will give you his own drug test before the MEPS one as well. You need to get him your birth certificate, license (if you have one), high school diploma, college transcripts etc etc. all of which may require contact to an outside source and therefore some waiting time.
You will schedule a day to goto MEPS with your recruiter, they are in most major cities, that whole process usually takes a day or two.
Once completed successfully, assuming you are qualified for enlistment, you will be given a ship date depending on your chosen MOS. If you don't care about your MOS (you should) you could shipout the next morning in some cases.
All in all, the process can take anywhere from a week to a month or two for someone who has to cut weight, wait for a drug to clear out of his system, etc etc. It depends on the person.

Asvab one day . Meps another day. Ship off date 2-3 weeks later depending on the next available date. Is the simple normal process.

relies upon on how right you may now time table an interview with a recruiter, and whilst the subsequent boot camp term starts. I have been given in after approximately 4 months, yet I even have had friends that took as much as eight or 9 months.

it's dependent on your MOS, and if you need a waiver.
Once you complete MEPS and are ready to go, it takes 10 working days minimum to run your ETNAC. Once that is complete, you will ship out to BCT.

Depends on the job you were looking at and when the next available school date is. Possible you could ship that same day if you weren't picky about your job.

If they see your question and they find out who you are.
Excuse me but I think there is a knock on your door.
