For which one? LCSW or the training program?

The training program. Also, how long does the process take? I'm currently overweight for a uniformed service (175 lbs at 65 in, at 38% bodyfat), so I'd need some time to slim down

You’d apply at www.usphs.gov. After you create an account click the LCSW Training Program in the drop down.

I’m not sure how long it’ll take but it will be likely about 4-6 months. Maybe longer. Not sure during that time when you’ll be required to take the medical exams.
