Prior Service?
Greetings all, first post on here besides the required introduction post (yes I do read the rules unlike some folk), i'm military so I know a good deal but despite what i've read and know concerning you "quiet professionals" even I have a few questions. These are in refrence to prior service, seeing how my time in the Corps is almost done with, i've been heavily considering going over to "the green side" as the army is sometimes known in the Corps, with my sole intent, goal, and purpose going into Special Forces, and with that I have a few questions in regards to that and my prior service:
1. I've been told a million times that if you have completed Marine boot, then Army basic is waived as a requirment, just wanting to confirm that?
2. By the time i'm out I will be a Corporal (E-4), i've heard if getting out and going over to the Army you get at minimum a boost in rank by two, wondering if that is true also?
3. In my introduction post, I stated how I was a school trained infantry rifleman, i've read "Get Selected" and read about the pipeline for SF, with it starting with basic, then infantry basic/AIT, with my prior graduation as a infantryman, is that waived off for me allowing me go right to jump school and then onto SFAS? Also, does my time as a infantryman in the Marines allow me the honor of wearing a infantryman's badge in the big green machine?
4. This is not really in relation to my prior service just a curiosity, but I read a statistic once that there are a good deal of former Marines who make their way over to SF, anyone know about this.
As always I am in awe and inspiried by having worked with SF before however brief it has been, thank you for your responses and comments to my above mentioned questions and have a happy holidays.
