I am prior service 0311 (infantry rifleman) Marine that conducted two deployments to Iraq. I have been off active duty for 3 1/2 years. Recent College graduate. Still have 6 month in the IRR. My recruiters are telling me that 18x is the only option for PS. Which is fine, because that is what I want.

I do however have a question, I am being told that I will have to complete all of OSUT. Seems like a waste of time and energy to train me in an MOS I already went to war in twice. I will do it with a smile on my face, but I was just wondering if any PS marine infantry have had to do this and what to expect. Any QP input will be much appreciated as well.
