Yes. I went in November 2013. My take was it was a good way to get in front of the recruiters but at the same time it was a bit disorganized. It was free except for my hotel, cab, etc. I didn't get get an interview out of it but got a better offer a bit later so it worked out good for me. My buddy who attended with me did get an interview and he was hired. I would recommend it. Certainly can't hurt.

Do they do on site interviews? Did you have to pay air fare?

No interview on site , more like a meet and greet to those who want one. 2 of my buddies got interviewed and hired from the last one, those of you qualified with somewhat competitive mins should def go.. They will hire guys from this ... Don't think about your short term cost , cab, hotel etc, I know that part stinks , but worth the pay off for those who get it.

Good luck

I registered within 10 minutes of getting the email. Two hours later, another friend of mine tried and was out on the wait list. That was fast...

You are supposed to be a vet. They tell you in the e-mail to bring your DD-214. I brought mine but nobody checked it. I didn't get selected to interview so I suppose that's where the real checking would take place. If they realized you lied about vet status to come to the event and landed an interview because of it, I'm sure the interview would be short.
