Hey! I live with my son off of Fort Gordon while my husband's in AIT! =D Sounds like you're going to be in the same boat.
Let me tell you something, though. Our recruiter said it was OK, but then Ft. Gordon freaked out when I got here. However, there's really not much they can do about it. You, being a civilian, can't really be ordered where to live. Even though they threw a little tantrum, it really wasn't a big one. And now that I've been here 5 months, nobody really cares.
It's a challenge, because at the moment, David can't live at home with me. They have phases--phase 4, 5, and 5+. David's still a phase 4, but at Phase 5 he'll get weekend priviledges so that he can come home on weekends. Then, at phase 5+ he's eligible to live with me off post with commander approval. Usually, if he can pass all of his inspections, your husband will be phase 4 for 4 weeks, phase 5 for 11 weeks, and then phase 5+ for the remainder of his stay. (The only reason my husband hasn't phased up is because he can't pass the PT. He's getting a medical discharge).
Since it's your fiance and not your husband, the Army is not going to care about you at all. They don't consider you guys a couple or anything until you're married. Therefore, until you wed, he won't be able to live off base with you, and you won't be eligible for on base housing. (Sorry--you should get married soon, though. His pay will go up drastically because of BAH and Sep. Pay. We get an extra $1000 or more a month over single soldiers.)
You can go live there, but he won't be able to live with you. But you will be able to see each other sometimes, depending on when his classes are. I see my husband about 5 hours a day, a few in the morning and a few at night. And almost all day on weekends.
If you want to email me, you can reach me best at knitwit@journalist.com. I'll be happy to help you out in any way I can. And if you're fiance's coming here to Ft. Gordon, I know some great, cheap apartments and some other information that might help!

That depends on the school. If it is long enough, then it will be considered a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), and his SPOUSE will be supported while he is there. Since you state that you are just engaged, then he will receive no additional funding to offset the costs of an apartment, food, vehicle, etc. Considering that MOST of the AITs that authorized a PSC are in high cost areas, this might not be the best thing.
How long is his AIT? If it's less than 6 months, you will wind up spending more money than it's worth. You have to remember that he is 1) in the military, and 2) will be going to school. He will NOT have a lot of free time, and probably won't be allowed to leave base for the first couple of weeks.
Congratuations on both the engagement and the military decision.

I've answered a couple of your other questions. Since your fiance is a 19D, he will do his basic and AIT all at once - OSUT, or One Station Unit Training. He won't have the freedoms that other MOSs have during AIT. He won't be able to leave post, so you moving to Ft Knox would be a waste because you'd still never see him. AIT is also only another 9 weeks for 19Ds, which is not that long. If you signed a lease there, you would be stuck in it. Since you're not married, you wouldn't be able to get out of the lease because of a military move when he goes to his first duty station.
Speaking of that, since you're not married yet you won't be able to live with him when he does get to his first duty station. If you want to go with him, you really need to go ahead and get married. You will also get free health care for you and your son. Just a thought.

YOU can move anywhere you want. HE won't be allowed to live off base during AIT, unless you are married, and maybe not even then. Also, the military will not pay for the move, nor will he receive BAH until you are married. If school is less than 6 months long, then not even if you are married will the move be paid for.

Yes, but your husband has to pay for your travel to the area and the rent.
