Coming up on 5 years of service; this is my second time as a Training room NCO. Is it possible to be awarded the MOS?

Id like the availability of stations to PCS as well as the credits added to my degree plan and of course the ability to make it work for me after the military. Of course I know I can reclass, but I am wondering if there are any other options. Such as the NCOs that get rated outside MOS because they fill an M-TOE slot.

Unfortunately, even though you have served as a Training Room NCO more than once, you can not be awarded an MOS that is the equivalent (I'm assuming 42A) of the Training NCO. You are the victim of your own success. When I was a 1SG both times, I made sure that my Orderly Room was manned by good Soldiers. I would talk with your leadership and make sure they know that this will be your second time. You do not want to spend too much time outside of your MOS.

Get away from the training room while you still can. Talk to branch about reclassing, if you really want to be 42A. Don't let being good at paperwork ruin your chance for being competitive for promotion within your actual MOS.

I was in the training room at my first assignment for two years. My original MOS was 92G, my 1SG called HRC even trying to get my MOS changed but it couldn't happen without the AIT. I reclassed with TDY enroute so I never did the 92G thing. But back to your question, you have to attend the training.

This is most likely the best answer I am going to receive. Thank you very much SSG Schechter.
