I tried to get a hold of a recruiter today, but will have to try again tomorrow. Maybe someone here can answer a question for me:
I am wanting to go back into the reserves, and am wondering if I would have to repeat basic training. I was in 88-94, plus 2 years of inactive reserve. I was honorably discharged as an E-5. I just turned 31.
I know I'd lose stripes going back in, of course, but I'm not sure about the bootcamp issue. Anybody have any idea?

Nope, don't have to redo boot camp. That's what got me to come in the National Guard 8 years after I got out of the Marines. You might lose a stripe or 2, but come on in!

I just entered the navy from the army and am helping out my recruter at home. About the boot bamp issue, as long as you have 6 months of continuous active duty on record, you do not have to re-do boot camp. Also, if you have to lose a stripe to come back in, you can have your orders state that you are to be promoted at least one rank higher than what you came in as.
