You need to finish AIT before anything else can happen.
In order to transfer from NG to active, you will have to submit a packet and request a release from your contract/NG. This isn't likely going to happen because your state just invested money into your training, out of the state budget.
If you would like to deploy, there is a website ( https://mobcop.aoc.army.pentagon.mil/ ) where you can go and see what deploying units need additional positions field. You can search by rank and/or MOS. You will need to build a profile and upload the required documents.

They're not giving you the run around. It's not their job and they can't do anything about it. You'll have to wait until you finish IET and submit a request through your unit. Highly doubtful it will be granted because they just spent a lot of money out of their budget to train you.

PVT (Join to see) Three things:
1. When you complete IET, you can go find an Army AD recruiter and work on requesting a conditional release DD368 approved by the first GO in your chain of Command. This takes a while and may be flat out denied. Numerous posts about this on RP.
2. As far as deployment, your unit will have to be on orders for a deployment, when that happens is anyone's guess. RC units were on a 5 home 1 deployed rhythm during the surge in Iraq and Afghanistan. AD units are not even deployed near as much as they were. Units usually know within 18 months of a planned deployment due to the train up and mobilization requirements. It's almost etched in stone.
3. MOBCOP aka Tour of Duty is a way for RC personnel to find a deploying unit that needs your MOS/grade. It's a website clearing house of individual deployers. Many sates and Reserve commands will direct you here when you drop a conditional release packet.
Recommend you focus on finishing IET then look at transferring.
