Are you sure you are reading your orders correctly? You will have PCS orders that authorize TDY en route if you are PCSing immediately following.

For example, my orders were for PCS to reclassify to 97E, a four month school at Huachuca.

The orders are PCS orders but they authorize TDY en route. In this case they were PCS orders to the Defense Language Institute with TDY en route (as opposed to return) to Fort Huachuca for the MOS portion of the training.

Were your orders cut to the duty station at which you will go through AIT?  The Army may feel like stationing you there after you become MOS-Q.  If the orders were cut for another location, you may attend school TDY en route.  As in, you final out and have all your household goods picked up at your old duty station, go to school, and then inprocess at your new duty station without returning to the old one.  Saves the Army cash.

So your actual duty station will be your AIT site or do you even know?
If it is, are you authorized early reporting?

Its a money thing, PCS is usually cheaper for the unit to send you and return. Some soldiers re-classing do bring family and get on post housing. If you press the issue and call the National Guard liaison on FT. Gordon hopefully the SGM will get you a letter also stating that TDY is now authorized. Worked for me.
