Deployment Schedules
Now that my husband has been assigned to a unit (he graduates from SOI in 2 weeks) I'm just curious about deployment schedules. I know he will be getting deployed but I didn't know if there was a way to find out when, or will he learn that after he checks-in with his unit.
Let's say that the unit that he is going to is currently in pre-deployment training and scheduled to leave in 2 months. When he joins his unit here in a couple weeks would he be thrown right in with that and deploy that soon? I'm really just trying to mentally prepare myself over here.

Re: Deployment Schedules
In the Air Force there is a regulation that you are supposed to be at your current duty location for a certain ammount of time (I think it's 120 days? honestly don't remember) before you are "eligible" to deploy. However, this is often waived based on mission requirements.
This is a question that your husband should ask his supervisor as soon as he shows up, to get a better idea of what is expected of him.
However, also keep in mind that members of the military should be ready for deployment 24/7/365. Sometimes military members are called to deploy on 24-48 hours notice.As a family, you should make sure that your affairs are in order (bills, insurance, will, POA, medical directives, etc) at all times.
The same is true for most Army MOSs. There are a few that require more specialized training out of AIT, SAT COM for instance. Others can deploy straight out of AIT.
On a similar note, Dh was at a school a year and a half ago that was 9 months, that had many Marines leave 3 months early to deploy. So basically they PCS'd and then deployed shortly after. I have also known many Marines that PCS'd and deployed less than a month after they arrived.
