Hey Led,
I have heard some bad things about Marines going back in. Last month I was down at MEPS. I talked with a Marine who was going into the Army. He was out for only 6 months. He said if he had gone back to the Marines he'd be an E-3. The army is allowing him to keep his rank. This is a huge reason why a lot of Marines go into the Army.
Since you've been out for 4 years I'd expect a steep rank reduction from the Marines. If you are worried about rank you may want to consult an Army recruiter. The Army may only drop you one rank.
