In most cases you do. Things change a lot in the service and unless it was really recent, you will likely need to be updated. Although the updating differs somewhat from standard basic training.

The only way to enter the US Army as a soldier without going through US Army Basic Training is to be a prior service member, in which case, you would have already gone through Basic Training/boot camp. Otherwise, the answer is no. You could gain employment as a Department of Defence civilian employee, but a lot of those jobs come with a stipulation that you join a reserve component of the military, which is still going to require you to go through Entry Level Training. Even officers have a Basic Training they go to - OBT, or Officers Basic Training.
Marines don't go through Basic Training - they go through Boot Camp. The Army does accept prior service enlistees without requiring them to go through Basic Combat Training. However, one may be required to attend BCT if their break in service exceeds a certain period of time. Additionally, they may have to attend Advanced Individual Training (AIT) to become qualified for their selected occupation in the Army if their previous occupation in the Marine Corps was not parallel to it.
An EPTS (Existing Prior to Service) discharge is a medical related discharge for medical conditions that existed before entering the armed forces. You may or may not know about the condition when entering the service, processing through MEPS, and leaving for basic training. The discharge is used for those who cannot hack Basic Training due to the medical problem.
If you have prior military service, you may not have to go through basic training again if you join another branch. The decision depends on various factors such as the length and type of your previous service, as well as the policies of the branch you are joining. In many cases, prior service members are exempt from repeating basic training, but they may still have to complete a shorter retraining program or attend an orientation course. It is best to consult with a recruiter from the branch you wish to join for specific guidance.
Basic Active Service Date is when you came into the military and swore in. For some that is about a week prior to Basic Training, for others, who were in the Delayed Entry Program, that can be months before basic training. PEBD is what finance uses to determine credible time you are getting paid for. I have 12 years of Active Federal Service but I am getting paid for 16 since I got out and went National Guard for four years. But this is only for pay purposes. The four years will not count for retirement unless there was active time in there.
Base pay for all branches of service are established by the same pay scale and are calculated on time in service and time in grade. It is unlikely for anyone above the pay grade E-3 to attend basic training, and all time in service, with the exception of the few service members who will be prior service, will be "under two" the lowest level of military pay.This being the case, base pay for E-1 to E-3 are below:E-1 - $1,491.00E-2 - $1,671.30E-3 - $1,757.40

"Yes, all managers are required to go through some type of training for their job. The depth and duration of the training often depends on the individuals prior experience and how the individual is responding to training."
Astronauts go through a great deal of training prior to going into space. It can take years for astronauts to go through all the training they need, which includes learning to work in zero gravity and going through a variety of realistic simulations.
"A" schools are a sailor's basic technical training schools, which most sailors attend just after completing Basic Training (boot camp). Sailors who are designated for specific ratings will attend these schools prior to learn the basics of their particular job rating.
One incident especially in basic training would be DRUG use even prior to entering!
