I am prior service active duty Army, went to basic a long time ago. I have 10 years total but have been out for a long time. My old MOS, 96R, is no longer in existence. Is it true that (1) I can join the Army guard and not have to go to any kind of basic training, and (2) the Army Guard can reclass me as part of my annual two weeks?

You say you were active duty Army but your profile says Air Force , that makes a difference.

Also, depending upon the time since your schooling, either Air Force or Army, your classification changes and some things will have to be retrained or refreshed, depending upon what skill or Soldier task.

You were in the Army with an MOS, so you will not need BCT.
96R no longer exists, I don't know if it was rolled up to 35T or simply abandoned, so you will need an MOS.
There are no MOS-Transition courses that are two weeks long. There are a few that are four weeks long that you can split over two years of AT, or you can take both phases consecutively. The rest are longer. Either way, you do this in lieu of your unit's AT.

SPC Steve Thomas - Bear in mind, your recruiter is not responsible for booking your reclass, that is on the unit you go to.
The recruiter just finds the MOS vacancy in a unit to contract you to.
Once you get to that unit, you need to pester the AGR until you have a reservation for that course.

I don’t know if they still do it, but there used to be a thing call the Warrior Transition Course for prior service people that were out for a certain period of time and/or coming from a different service. I don’t know if they still do that though.
As far as reclass, it depends on your MOS. When I reclassed to 31B back in 07/08, I had to do 6 months of drills at our RTI and then 2 weeks at another RTI. So that went from like 20 weeks to 4.
They have reclass courses for some 15 series as well in PA and AZ.
The length of the reclass course depends on what the AD school house wants because all of the sites that do reclassing are accredited by the respective school houses.
