MEPS will do a grade determination when you enlist in AD and tell you what grade you'll be at.

E4 seems to be no issue, it's the NCO ranks that are iffy. If you have completed schools then that seems to work in your favor. Knew a few SGT's that went to SPC but regained their rank quickly enough. Also knew a SSG that kept his rank.
