Husband is currently in AIT for 14E and is a E6 prior service Navy.

Why would your husbands prior service rank afford him the opportunity to be placed in a THAAD unit? There is literally no correlation to 14E and THAAD other then an additional skill identifier.

Just because your husband was an E6 in the Navy does not mean he will be as successful in the Army.

It can happen. Had a SSG who changed his MOS go through the school house.

Since THAAD falls under "ADA", as does 14E, there is always a chance for a Soldier within that branch to get selected to THAAD. That Soldier would need to complete the THAAD school at Ft. Sill, OK IOT get the ASI.
