What to expect??
So my husband graduated BMT last weekend now he's at Tech School. Now he says that he may or may not get to start classes on time and so on and so on. So what else should I expect for the next year or so.

O yes. I am definitely beginning to realize that.

In addition to what the previous posters have said (expect the unexpected), I would recommend familiarizing yourself with military jargon and structure, if you haven't already. It might make things a bit easier as you navigate this new lifestyle.
Otherwise, enjoy this new adventure!
I recommend reading "Married to the Military" by Meredith Leyva. This book has helped with Jargon, knowing what to expect, if there is an issue it tells you how to handle it. This book was very helpful to me. My H hasn't left for BMT yet (next month!) but I feel more comfortable "sort of" knowing what to expect in the future.
I would also join some facebook pages. The Air Force page and maybe AF Wing Moms. You can ask questions there and they are very helpful.
Nail on head.
My DH isn't in training anymore, but still when I get asked how long I expect to be in my current location I avoid answering. The Navy loves to change things up so I just go with the flow until I see orders, and even then, orders can change.
Pretty much. "Go with the flow" needs to become your new motto and way of life.
