Questions about 18x for prior service
I just got out of the Marine Corps, i was infantry as a squad leader for 4 years got out a corporal (e4) and i go to mepps in a couple days to sign my 18x contract for the army. I have a few general questions that if anyone has knowledge on the subject might answer (reason being im not sure if stuff is different being prior service infantry)
What my recruiter told me:
I wouldn't have to go to bootcamp or infantry school because my mos is directly transferable.
I would come into the army as a Specialist bc i got out of the marine corps as an E-4
And that i would either go to Airborne School-SOPC-SFAS or SOPC-SFAS-Airborne school. (he said he wasn't sure and it could be based off slotting avaliability)
*obviously i'll know for sure when i get up to mepps, but i'd like to have a more definitive answer if i could bc we all know recruiters only know so much and it's what mepps puts in front of you that matters...so does this information i was told seem accurate?
