and are attending skill level 1 training in IET units as a result of reclassification or enlistment actions. Reclassified
and prior service Soldiers are not considered IET Soldiers; however, they are assigned to IET units. This definition
does not apply to those Soldiers who failed to complete the requirements for the award of a MOS as part of the initial
IET process. Reclassified and prior service Soldiers must meet all course requirements for graduation (APFT, etc.)
and are subject to IET policies, unless otherwise stipulated in this regulation.

(1) Prior service Air Force, Navy, or Coast Guard personnel who have not completed a U.S. Army BCT Course
or U.S. Marine Corps Basic Training Course will complete Army BCT at one of the four ATCs and are treated as prior
service Soldiers using the guidance contained within TR 350-6 and as follows:
>
>
(a) Prior service personnel are not considered IET Soldiers but will comply with applicable regulations,
standards, and training requirements.
>
>
(b) Prior service personnel in the pay grade of E-1 through E-4 are billeted IAW this and other applicable
regulations.
>
>
(c) Prior service personnel in the pay grade of E-5 to E-9 are billeted separately from other BCT Soldiers.
Prior service personnel are billeted in a separate building when possible. If a separate building is not available, then
on a different floor of a BCT building. If a different floor within the building is not possible, then within a separate
room (not in an open bay). Prior service NCOs may be billeted using the same as initial entry BCT Soldiers as a last
resort with approval of the DCG-IMT. Requests should be submitted in memorandum format. Billeting NCOs w ith
BCT Soldiers is not the intent and should be a last resort.

(d) These standards include billeting while processing through the reception units. Reception units will
immediately identify prior service personnel and ensure the gaining BCT units are informed of the prior service
personnel’s status rank, pay grade, and billeting standards. Prior service personnel may be housed in AIT facilities.

(2) Prior service personnel who enlist for a MOS held during their previous enlistment, and have less than a 3
year break in service are assigned directly to operational units.
>
>
(3) Prior service personnel who enlist for a MOS not previously held, and have less than a 3 year break in
service will attend AIT in the new MOS. If the new MOS is taught in the OSUT mode, the person will enter training
at a point at which all MOS training is accomplished.

c. Duties/responsibilities.

(1) Commanders may take advantage of the experience and leadership abilities of reclassified and prior service
Soldiers, and use them to augment their cadre. However, the primary duty of reclassified and prior service Soldiers is
to attend training and become technically proficient in their new MOS.
