No.
You essentially have to create that opportunity by one of two options:
1, Submit an ETP to attend the new MOS-T school because you have a pending transfer to a position for that MOS, or.
2. Submit an ETP to transfer to that new MOS and demonstrate that you have a future reservation for that MOS-T school.
Most states offer this as a retention incentive, you can get the transfer and school guaranteed with your extension.

My guard experience is 20 years old but it wasn't uncommon for a line unit to train people in support jobs, get them MOSQ and swap them back to the line.
If you're changing units you will likely need to change units.

In the Guard I think it may be hard since the state funds it's personnel and slots and whatnot. Honestly, because I'm not NG I'd recommend giving your retention NCO a call. Maybe (s)he can help give you the most up to date guidance

SPC (Join to see) honestly though, if you can I recommend it. I loved my time on active as an 11C, and miss it all the time, but being in the reserve components other CMFs will help you in the civilian world. And it makes it easier for your civilian world to help your military life. Do you know what MOS you want?

SPC (Join to see) not a bad MOS to have. There's a Guard MP unit like 10 minutes away. I definitely say pursue it. Give retention a call
