Welcome aboard,
You probably belong in both this club and the NCO! Seriously, there's not much distinction regarding rank here, I think that Jason ("Hannibal") set them up so that there'd be a way to segregate issues like schooling without everyone having to wade through them.
My comments are tempered by time (I finished active duty 11 years ago) but I'll make a few comments.
You're probably well aware that the standard for PT is more rigouous in the school environment than in many units. Don't show up to AOBC out of shape. It's not worth the grief.
You're showing up with far more experience than most of your peers will have. Don't keep it to yourself. However, I'd suggest that you try to learn the "school method" while at Knox and add it to the way that your unit does things rather than adopting the "It ain't that way in the real world." mode. Your instructors will appreciate and honor your point of view, but they are duty bound to teach the "book."
Have fun!
Best of luck.
