Big caveat - I went back to the same unit and trade so I had some people vouch for me who knew me from my first time in. I was sworn back in pretty quickly (3 ish months) then the complete PLAR process took about another year before i had 100% confirmation that i did not need to redo any...

I was out for 10 years. I did not have to redo anything but the unit was hurting for people and I had to have a few different interviews prior to re-enrollment. I dont know for certain but i suspect the CO pulled some strings. I was sworn back in at a lower rank and got my old rank back +...
