Should I
A) Go through the motions, and get to the next evolution?
B) Attempt to be a leader? (I was a squad leader in the Corps, and in combat, and though the USMC is not the Army, I believe I know a thing or two about being a PVT and being a warrior)
C) Expect to be treated differently because I was prior service and infantry?

Mis dos centavos,
Never "just go through the motions", use the time wisely to better yourself as a soldier. Be creative, you will probably spend a lot of time learning things you have already been taught; use that time to further your existing skills if you can.
You will be more of a leader than anyone else there more than likely. Take charge in the absence of orders, I expect that you will spend copious amounts of time mentoring the new recruits on simple military tasks.
The Drill Sergeants will likely notice that and give you guidance on what they expect from you at that point. I would expect to be held to a higher standard than the rest of the "recruits".
Good luck in your pursuit,
CH
