Negative on the reenlisting. If someone "retired" went to school then reenlisted, in the Army - anyways - then (even if he was Jump Qualified) he would still have to do Boot if he was out too long. Best case is he'll have to go thru AIT for what ever MOS he is going for. Just because he has a degree doesn't mean squat if the military could care less....remember this is the same military that would rather pull half the teeth in your mouth out instead of fill a cavity.
But let's say Mainframe an E-5 in the Army...decided to stay in the army instead of go to the marines. Went to school parttime and lets say he's been in 10 years and his contract is about to expire. He can retire (ETS) or reenlist (reup) for another 10 years. And he re-ups without leaving the service for a day: then he won't have to redo boot. If he changes MOS...he will have to go back to MOS school (AIT) as "prior service" skipping boot. If he wants to cash in on his degree and become an officer he will need to go to OCS.
If he left the service even for a short time...the likelihood of having to repeat everything again becomes higher the longer he is out. So unless he does ROTC or have it written into his contract that he will be sent to OCS immediately after any extra train he need to redo then he will continue to be enlisted.
The army only give automatic Officer rank for a limited number of fields. Medical, Chaplin, Avaition (i think, for those with piloting skills). Oliver correct me if I am wrong but these are my experiences when I was in the service.
As far as I know, everything you've said about reenlistment is correct. The only Officers I know who are allowed to bypass OCS/ROTC are Chaplains, Doctors, and Lawyers. I couldn't say regarding the pilots. I know a lot of pilots who went through ROTC. I believe it's true that 6 months after a soldier leaves the Army, if they want to reenlist they have to go through basic training again... however, there are often exceptions to that policy.
