Do I go back to basic training if I am prior-service Army?

Probably not BCT, but definitely AIT

5 years separation in order to have to repeat basic

I got out of the Army for a year and cross decked into the Marines. They took everything except ofc and sent me to Parris Island. Never do this. Lol

AR601-210 says prior service personnel who have successfully completed an army BCT in previous service will not have to do BCT again

yes I did 13 years active navy got force out with the downgrade did a year navy reserve. got out in 2015 just enlisted in the army reserves and have to do a 10week basic. But I kept my rank so no 6 week like I was told originally.

From what I hear BCT is a joke. I would do it again if I had to.

No to basic, but if ur changing ur MOS, gotta go to AIT. I was 96B Intelligence Analyst,

if you're asking this question, you haven't spoken to a recruiter.
You must be out over 5 years to go back to BCT, and you're automatically put in for a waiver to not do it

The United States Recruiting Command(USAREC) changed the rules for prior service. If you are a prior service that has been separated for more than 5 years will now be required to go back to basic training. I know because I recently went through the process and they are making me go back to basic.
When I read comments and talk to people that got back in without doing basic it semi grinds my gears. Im heading back to basic in Jan. Good luck

No you would have to a since you only been out a year if you was out 3 then maybe
