Rah gents so I’m a prior service Marine I got out as a Lance. I’m going active army. My questions are in AIT do the instructors know of your prior service status and treat you any specific way? I’m reclassing from being a 0811 to something new,I haven’t chosen my MOS yet I’m still weighing my options. Do you still maintain liberty privelages like when you were in the fleet? Also when transitioning to my first unit what is the overall lifestyle like as compared to the Corps?

I just reclassed with a handful of prior service Marines and they all were treated as MOS-Ts. Meaning we all lived in separate barracks. No restrictions other than being at class with the trainees.
I found some AIT instructors aren't aware of how the situation should be handled so it'd be good to look into prior service/reclasses in AIT. There is a army regulation pertaining to it. I had to physically pull the AR out and show it to them but in the end it worked out.

They will treat like a trainee however, once you display your maturity and have better discipline than the rest, well you will be treated differently. At the end of the day, you are an E3, and that's all they see. Worry about passing the new AIT, and you will be rewarded in different ways.

Prior service will show! You can be a instant success just by letting your skill and experience display themselves. And by being the quiet man!
