My parents were in the Air Force, and got married because my father was about to be sent to Japan. My father was sent over soon after, but my mom was stateside for 3 months before she got sent over after him. They were able to handle it immediately after being married, and many couples are apart for longer without it causing major problems. It's certainly a strain on any relationship, but if the two of you are solidly together now, being apart for two months shouldn't change that.

Shouldn't be a problem. FTJ (follow to join) happens all the time with overseas postings. Tell the travel office and his command. They should be able to help you with the visas and copies of his orders (if traveling MilAir) that you will need to catch up with him.
Regarding your stuff (HouseHold Goods), you can probably maintain the household here, wait, and pack things up before YOU leave (shipping and moving later).
Or you guys can pack stuff up now, and it should be there when you arrive.
I think the first option is probably the best. He can probably survive without much stuff. Check with legal if you need a power of attorney for shipping the HHG.
Again check with your personnel office on his housing allowance (here or there) he might be able to 'pick' which one temporarliy before you join him. (putting him the barracks there-but keeping the house and housing allownce for here).
Command and your new command in Japan probalby have experienced this before, so ask your sponsor, ask the obmudsman, ask the top shirt.
Good luck in Japan

I'm cool with it, what's the issue? Uncle Sam will make accommodations when they can. Are you going to base housing? Just check with the housing office, they would be the best source of information.

Only if you guys are having problems. If not than it should work out good. Give him time to get things in order so you can just get there and move in.

The time will go fast for you, and he will have time to get things ready for your arrival. It will be fine. Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Best of luck and thank you and your husband for what you are doing for our Country.
