In 2003 the start of pushing QM Os down to IN units to serve as S-4 started, I can only assume Regt. followed suit or started the trend. Most of those cats were branch detail folks from IN who had tabs, wings, EIB, etc. IN Officers have always backfilled the roles QM officers have done when no QM guy was available, with the exception of specialty skills like Riggers.
You may want to skip the Regt. Recruiter and go straight to the S-4 (at regt. or one of the BNs). They'll be a little more likely to talk to a 2LT than the Recruiter. If you get in a real tough spot, you can try one of the XOs (Regt, BN, or the Support Company). That's if you can stand talking to a Major for more than a few minutes.

If you can expand your search, 160th has a shit ton of ops for QM Os.
Maybe SupplyRanger can help point you to a warm body.
