I have signed my contract under delayed entry for 92 A logistics specialist but I realize now that I would enjoy 12B (combat engineer) which i was contemplating but decided against it. I do not ship for another year and since 12B ait is built into basic training I guess I wondered if I can switch MOS prior to ait or if after completing 92A ait can I do 12B 4/5 week ait even though it is usually built in to basic?

They don’t normally like to pay for one AIT just let you switch to another after spending all that time and money. Work on getting it changed to what you really want beforehand.

Since you have not shipped out, there is a chance you can switch. Just going to involve some paperwork. As for Option B of going from 92A to 12B....yes, you would only need to complete the AIT portion. I know this as I had reclassed to 12B once upon a time ago. I arrived to the training company about a week prior to their BCT graduation. Did admin and inprocessing, had a 4 day pass, then started AIT. But, also bear in mind that you can't go straight out of 92A into 12B. You will have to wait a spell (especially if you got a bonus), before you can request reclass.
