What my recruiter told me:
I wouldn't have to go to bootcamp or infantry school because my mos is directly transferable.
I would come into the army as a Specialist bc i got out of the marine corps as an E-4
And that i would either go to Airborne School-SOPC-SFAS or SOPC-SFAS-Airborne school. (he said he wasn't sure and it could be based off slotting avaliability)
*obviously i'll know for sure when i get up to mepps, but i'd like to have a more definitive answer if i could bc we all know recruiters only know so much and it's what mepps puts in front of you that matters...so does this information i was told seem accurate?

Doesn't matter what we think, or what the recruiter says.
The recruiter will offer you a written contract, and you decide if you want to sign it or not.
Once you get a written offer, then it might make sense to ask if that is what others are seeing, before signing it.
Best of luck.
