My fiance and I have been together for two years now. We decided, due to the economy and other factors, to join the Army. His MOS is 25F (Networking-Maintainer/Repairer) and mine is 68K (Medical Laboratory Specialist). We both leave in February for our BT and he goes for his AIT in Georgia for 23 weeks but I go to Texas for my AIT for 52 weeks...
If we get married now before boot camp, and file for join-spouse. Is it possible that if he gets assigned to his first base following AIT that when I finish mine they will send me to his? I only ask because I read the horror stories of those who waited until they were already on their first assignment to switch and had to wait between a year and two years. Figuring that my AIT is 30 weeks longer that instead of them sticking me elsewhere to begin with and having to worry about switching, that it's a possibility I'll just get assigned with (or near) him right off the bat? (I'm aware of the 100 mile away rule, I just don't want to be across country considering my job is rather versatile: IE: Every base has a hospital.) Please be considerate. Thank you.
