I’m a Marine joining active duty, signing an 11X contract, what should I expect as a prior service going through AIT as a Sgt?

I would think you would be placed into one of the student chain of command top slots, so CO or SFC, or at least in the Platoon Leadership. Forget about the Marine way of doing things, all NCO's are Sergeant except for Corporals, which aren't common in the Army, and Sergeant Majors. The PT is different from the Marines, but I think you will find it just as effective. Were you 0300 in the Marines?
We had a number of Marines that went through with me, none of them had problems adjusting.

I was not, I was a POG in the Marines, hence why OSUT is required. I was told I would be slotted since I’m prior service.

Sgt Donovan Bender - All of the prior service and most of the older guys were at least started at some leadership position. That included me, since I was 27 when I went through OSUT. My best advice to you is to make sure you are in good enough shape to pass the PT walking in the door. Makes a world of difference ( and I wasn't BTW).
