Now of course Parris Island will differ because PI is only designed to create a basic Marine. OSUT is designed to create a basic rifleman. I would assume that having prior service infantry would interfere with the DS progress. Now I am obviously wrong with the comments from above. I by no mean, believe I "rate" anything extra or that I am can not learn more of the basics.
If you are scheduled for OSUT then that is better. They will do basic/AIT together and you will be spending all your time becoming an 11b. It sucks with basic then ship over and do your MOS. breath deeply and learn the Army way. It ain't perfect but it works.

Enjoy......
