Just my .02

Just got a 18x Contract as a prior service soldier took about 2 months for it to go through(waited on a grade term. waiver). If you have a good recruiter they can help with the process.

I served with two former marines, that were prior infantry who did not have to go through infantry school again.

Being prior infantry my 18x pipe line is a little different, I skip infantry school, and airborne( already jump qual,) and start right into SOPC. If you got a 18x contract you would be on a similar course I would imagine.

You best bet do like TR said and talk to a recruiter or a SF recruiter, they have up to date info.
