Just pointing out that it sounds like Brushmonkey is a prior-service candidate, while nD would be a Rep-63. In other words, nD goes straight through the pipeline, without going back to his unit and passing a pre-selection there.
I'm an Rep-63 18E candidate with the 20th and am awaiting Phase 2. My contract said something like "99 weeks or until completion of training, to include Basic, 31C AIT, Jump School, SFAS and 18E SFQC, Language training and SERE."
There was no mention of a fallback MOS.
And, as mentioned, it is needs of the Army. I know of one REP-63 Delta hopeful that went to medic AIT and still was placed in an Echo slot, and he hasn't been able to have it switched to Delta. (Though he may be offered a Delta slot if he makes it past Phase 2).
All the other guard guys that I've met got the MOS slot that they were expecting. For all I know, the MOS committee saw something they didn't like in this particular fellow's test scores and decided not to put him a course that he's likely to fail.
Good luck.
