So I am reclassing when my reenlistment comes up, I will obviously return to AIT, what I am wondering is whether I could call HRC and (nicely) ask for a specific duty station if it is available

Oh wait, I just reread all that.
No.
You will receive your follow on instructions 4 months prior to class start date. You will attend school in a TDY enroute status. Your future branch manager is not in control of your follow on assignment (except certain specific MOSs) Retention branch is. Retention branch will place you on assignment and you absolutely MAY NOT call them. In fact, if you call them your Career Counselor will get a very nasty email and the training follow manager might just have the perfect candidate for that Korea or Sill assignment.

SGT(P) (Join to see) good luck and remember that if you’re not on assignment 120 days prior to your course starting you can go to your Career Counselor and request your preferred follow on assignments

When I reclassed to 42A (2012) we didn't get our follow-on assignments until halfway through the course (about 3 weeks in).

SSG(P) (Join to see) this is for in service reclass. People coming from enlisting in the Army and Reclassing don’t get their follow in until they’re in school. People who reclass through retention go TDY enroute to their next duty assignment

I understand that SSG, that's why I said ask if it was available. Since whenever you hit 3 years on a duty station you can just hit up hrc and request a pcs to another duty station, just wondering if I could do the same at AIT since it wouldn't be my first contract.

There’s a lot more that goes into the process. When the time comes, I recommend talking to your retention NCO. They can send requests for you. Hitting up branch, they can only tell you certain assignments they NEED to fillSGT(P) (Join to see)

Yes you absolutely can but don’t be surprised if they just blow you off. In fact, since HRC is working from home they won’t answer the phone. You can email, but they generally wont answer. Your best bet is to update your ASK. If there is an assignment opening that matches a location you want, you might just get it.
