Can you change your Army MOS after Basic Training while at AIT?

Nope. No chance at all. Chances are the recruit was steered away from Mental Health Tech because there were no class seats available for the next year.
In my experience, if there were enough class seats, everyone in the Army would be Dog Handlers, LPNs, and Radiology Techs, and everyone else would be Special Forces and Rangers. But the reality is that there are only so many positions for low density MOS's and only so many class seats a year to fill those positions.

Sadly that makes sense. Thank you.
From what I understand.....no, the Soldier cannot change it while IN AIT. The MOS can and will change if the Soldier in question fails the Medic Course. However, if the Soldier fails the MOS school, they will be reclassed to a new MOS based on the Needs of the Army. I also edited your TAG from the original one you had because that is for an element in Europe and not relating to MOS and AIT.

Thank you very much. Apparently they have called him into behavioral health center to discuss. Thank you again!

Eileen Fahey if they called him into behavioral health to discuss it, it's not because he is being recruited to work there. If he is being called into BH during AIT it is because he has gone to them about BH issues and the next step is most likely that person being separated for BH. Very likely with a suicide attempt, threat, or ideation. It's just how these things happen, especially during IET.

I didn't believe he was being recruited to BH. He was looking for someone to talk to about wanting to change MOS. Thank you.
Hypothetically, if a thousand variables lined up perfectly while Jupiter was in retrograde? Yes.
Realistically and practically, no, it's extraordinarily unlikely.
