I served with several former Marine NCO's when I was an infantry NCO myself. They adapted well to the Army. While infantry units are very similar in both branches, there are differences. Improvise, adapt, and overcome! You should do well.

I am only making the switch because I want to switch careers to CI. The CI/HUMINT course in USMC has a drop rate from 70-90%. Not worth the risk. What career are you thinking about joining?

I did. I got out of the Marines completely. Started school and joined Army ROTC. That wasn't preplanned. It just turned out that way but it worked out.

You will need to check with the nearest Army recruiter. There are specific regulations/guidance regarding prior service accessions - USAREC’s Business Rules for example; and are revised frequently based on the service’s need.

I'm looking at going 14E. Seems like a nice gig. Going to be working with the Patriot missile system.
