Is there a way to submit anything to get my MOS-Q after being chaptered out with an honorable and an RE3, but wasn’t awarded the MOS-Q?

Hi everyone so long story, went through basic and failed pt test at 25S ait and got chaptered out with an honorable and an RE3, working with a recruiter to come back in (I’ve gotten back in shape and can 100% pass the new acft) anyways I completed my 25S training but wasn’t awarded the MOS-Q since my chapter was already processing but it’s all on my JST that I’ve completed all the training for it. I was in for more then 180 days so I’m considered prior service for the reenlistment. My questions are is there a way to submit anything to get my MOS-Q? And even if I don’t will I still be treated as a prior service/MOS-T in what ever ait I go to once I get back in? Or will they just throw me back in with the IET soldiers? (Really wouldn’t want that because 30 weeks at Gordon was trash as a trainee and I would hopefully like to already live with my wife from the get home if the ait is long enough) thanks in advance for any answers

Your unit may be able to send you to an MOS-T. A lot of things have changed.

Are you going in with the same MOS or giving a shot to a different one? If the same MOS, then it will be up the school house, not the recruiter, to see if they give you credit for whatever you already completed. All based on how long ago, (even a few months can make a difference), your performance at it, any changes in the POIs, and whatever they might coma with; don't hold your breath. Now, the fact it shows on your JST it means, like you mentioned, you completed the training and the schoolhouse gave you credit but somehow did not make it to your DD214. Curious if you ask me.

The only way they can submit for your MOS Award Orders is with a 1059 and certificate from the school. If its not in your IPERMS and was not recorded on your DD214, I fear you are going to have to do AIT over again, but you would be considered Prior Service though, at least that is my understanding.

Until you get the waiver for the RE code, the rest is not relevant.

You have an RE3, good luck getting back in to active duty. Reserves or guard maybe.

You didn't graduate so you are not qualified in that MOS. APFT is a requirement for graduation from AIT. You completed the academic portion of AIT which is why it's on your JST. You failed to meet the requirements to be awarded the MOS.

The only person who can award you the MOS is the MOS proponent at the schoolhouse. You can email them and ask, but they will tell you that since you failed to graduate you were not awarded the MOS and they will no award it for you.

Didn't meet the full set of requirements. Didn't graduate. Therefore, no MOS was awarded. Therefore, you are not MOS-Q.

Hi Jesse,

Sorry to break it to you, you're a non-prior or more specifically a "glossary non-prior service"

Army

"The Army defines "prior service" as any applicant with more than 180 days of military service, or those who graduated from military job-training (MOS/AFSC/Rating), regardless of time-in-service. Individuals with less than 180 days of military service, and/or those who have not completed military job-training are classified as "Glossary Prior Service," and are processed the same as non-prior service recruits and given an RE Code (or receive a waiver) on their DD Form 214."

You didn't completely job training so you'll be processed as a NPS IE back to MEPS and with the RE3 will have a harder time getting in full active duty as a few have mentioned.
