Army Scheduling

Honestly that is a hard question to answer. I would say you can't plan to far ahead of time since they can literally be sent anywhere for training at any moment or even be deployed. My first marriage was fast for the same reason. When ExH was deployed & our 1 yr old was having surgeries after surgeries they wouldn't even send him home for them or even let him call. You never know with the military :/ I would say maybe 6 months out at the most would be your best bet & once your FH gets settled have him talk with his higher ups about it. They might be able to get a better idea for you both.

That is very tough. Getting married in the off season (for your location) would mean you could plan something in a short amount of time and find vendors that are available to be booked last minute. I know it can be challenging to plan something far in advance for military members.

You cannot plan or set a date at this point. He still had to go to Basic, and then go to training to learn his job. Unless he has a guaranteed job, and knows where/when/how long you have no idea how long training will be. OR... where he will be stationed. There's no way he would know that now, unless he's Guard or Reserve. If he's Active Duty, then he could be stationed anywhere, and won't know where he's going until he's about 90% done with Basic Training. And, wives are not authorized to accompany a soldier during training. You won't catch up with him until he's ready to go to his duty station. Once that happens, THEN plan for a post-wedding celebration....

Like Jennifer said, wait to see where he is assigned. Once that is done, set the date far enough out and get it on the schedule immediately. We set our date a little over a year out, my husband went into the scheduling office and had them add it to the schedule and they put him on deployments that would make sure he would be home at that time. The military is surprisingly flexible if you talk to the right people and give them enough of a heads up. Or figure out exactly when he may have leave between training and duty assignments and do it then.
