Are there times when prior service can do a shorter AIT than an IET soldier? A national guard recruiter sent me a list of MOS slots and AIT durations, and several of the AIT lengths were far shorter than what is shown on the Army guard website.

It's not because you're prior service, it's because the guard has training sites for certain MOS's that are shorter than active duty version.

If you have a previous MOS, then you can attend a National Guard reclassification course for your new MOS. Some are MUCH shorter than the AIT that IET soldiers attend (as short as two weeks).

I’m pretty sure that if you’ve been out for over 6 years you would have to go back to iet... best of luck in your future endeavors
