I have read a lot about other prior service guys experience in BCT at Ft. Benning receiving sperate housing from the privates and getting a few privileges. However those stories are all coming from E5s. Does anybody have experience with a prior service E4 going through BCT?

You won’t receive different privileges while in BCT. Once you go to your AIT, you’ll be considered MOS T and will be housed separately from new Soldiers.

Going in as 11X you’ll be in OSUT. I don’t know how different they’ll treat you during OSUT. For AIT we were treated different, especially prior service. SGTs and abover were housed separately from the rest of the soldiers. But, E4s and below, regardless if you’re prior service or not, were in the same barracks. This was at Fort Leonard Wood. I wouldn’t know how they do it at Fort Benning. I would ask anyone who went through OSUT as AIT is different. Good luck. What was your rate while in the Navy?

Coming from the Navy or Air Force you will be treated like a new recruit. Because your MOS is an OSUT MOS, your AIT will be one long basic training.

Prior service E4s were in a separate bay for 19D OSUT only the E5s lived in separate barracks and had privileges. As an E4 you’ll be treated like the rest of the privates Except they will expect you to know your 10 level tasks better etc
