Is it possible to reclassify into an MOS and become qualified without attending AIT?

Slotted for MOS not qualified for. Temporary profile won't permit me to attend AIT to become MOS Q'd. Is anyone aware of a waiver or fast track process? Could not find any information within AR 600-8-19 about AIT waivers or anything similar. Not becoming MOS Q'd will definitely cost me a promotion opportunity if not completed by end of FY18.

Last I checked, there was a way to reclass if you have worked in the MTOE position performing the duties of that position for a certain amount of time. I don't know if that is still a thing though.

That is what in the past was called OJT qualification.
That is how I got my Signal MOSs and how I got my Supply (Logistics) MOS. It is interesting that is how I actually fell into Beta testing the ULLS system. That is also how I learned all about TEMPEST systems.

I do not know if this still holds true, you would need to check with your S1 Personnel Section to confirm and begin the process. Depending upon the MOS you were to reclassify into You could complete the required Army Correspondence Course, upon success full completion the S1 and Unit Commander could submit the forms for reclassification and the new MOS awarded based upon that. That process as mentioned earlier could also be part of a 2 Step process where you would need to attend a Phase II school provided by a Reserve Training Site.
Another option had been to hold Specific and Certified Civilian Skill Sets that are also employed by the Army. Civilian or DoD Firefighters in GS0081 positions with full certifications at or above the vacant pay grade could be awarded the MOS of Firefighter. Similar held True for Heavy Vehicle Operators, tractor trailer drivers. I had been a DoD Civilian Firefighter/EMT and concurrently held a Class A CDL license with endorsements for Doubles, Triples, Tank Vehicles, and Hazardous Materials.
If you are Active Duty, consider options open through the Education Center on you base as well. Your S1 again should be able to assist you if the Ed Center offer courses that are applicable to the MOS you're looking to transfer or cross level into.
Much has changed since I retired from the Reserves in 2001, and a DoD position in 2007. And ask your Platoon Sergeant as well she or he should be able to give guidance.

I appreciate the information, I'll discuss this with my S1. Chain of Command ended with me being told to find a publication with supporting information as they had either heard of it or claim it isn't possible anymore.

I don't see it happening- I mean the whole point of AIT is to train you in your MOS to the standards of today- I could see if it was a prior MOS you had held- Have you asked to see if this MOS has an on-line component or is offered as a correspondence course? I took my secondary MOs that way 100 years ago.

I'll look into it SGM. I understand what I'm hoping to accomplish is a long shot if its even possible. Rest assured this is no attempt to undermine the standards. I intend to recover and expect many schools ahead in my career. I just hate that I may miss an opportunity for promotion over a temporary issue.
