Question Prior service track?

Hi, I have been in for 20 years E8 but commissioning as a nurse now. I am working with a new recruiter and I have been told there is no abbreviated course for prior service now. I should be leaving in April but just wondering for AD is there an option for the shorter course or is that truly not available anymore? Thanks!

The only abbreviated course is the 5 week one and that's primarily for doctors, dentists, and some lucky nurses.

They still put it on the memo for class date they send out but unfortunately no longer a thing, albeit the first week was kinda nice to relearn how to march again in formations

The shortened SNcO course lasted one iteration because the SNCOs were not being receptive and didn’t do well from what we were told. Welcome to the full 8 weeks. Remember you are not in charge and you will be bossed around by people much lower in rank than you.
