How to stay knowledgeable with my MOS, without being able to do it?

I graduated 91C AIT in March and was assigned to a brand new unit soon after. After in-processing, I learned that the motorpool that I'll be working at has absolutely no HVAC tools. This means that I'm slowly but surely turning into a 91B and a 91D. I don't want to lose everything I was taught in AIT, however, because I really like my MOS. How can I retain my knowledge without being able to use it?

I was in your shoes as a PVT-SGT. I probably did two weeks of 91C duties in my 7.5 years as a 91C, while being in four different assignments. Remember that 91C merges with 91B, 91D and other MOS's at SFC. Unfortunately, if you stay in the Army you will need to get used to being a 91B and 91D. To stay proficient, you will have to read TM's and look for work outside your unit.

Read on your own. Do your assignments that you do get given well. Let your chain of command know that you would like to keep your MOS proficiency, and take advantage of any opportunities offered to do so.

Your supporting battalion (ASB/BSB, etc) probably has an A/C shop of some sort as that is who your broken stuff would get sent to since ya'll don't have the proper equipment to fix it yourself. Try to go there as often as possible and work with them if you have the opportunity.
