You might be able to ask for his assignment when you go to enlist. Talk to the recruiter about this. And they do consider anything within 100 miles of each other together. And one can be deployed and then return and the other can then get deployed, so there is always that chance of being away from each other for now about 30 months (cause you might not be guarenteed R&R together).
But here are a few websites that you can check out:

Hope these help and good luck. Remember though, talk to your recuiter first and don't sign anything unless what you want is written down on the contract. And he could try and get you the same duty station as your husband.
Good luck.

Once you enlist he would have to turn in a 4187 for Joint Domicile and probably your marriage license. That will allow you to get stationed together then. Not in the same unit most likely but you two would be on the same post. Another thing is if you have kids you will need to do what is called a family care plan. The Army just wants to see that they would be taken care of if in thee event of the post getting deployed. But once you ship to basic your husband needs to turn that paperwork in so you don't get stationed somewhere else.

Yes as long as you enroll in the army married couples program. They do a good job of keeping you together but they can't always do it without having a gap sometimes (he may move a few months before you do to a new base)

yes. My best friend is married and they are both in the army right now and stationed together in korea. you might not be able to move around as much as other people, but they try not to break up families. go ahead, they will work with you.

certainly one of you may could desire to connect the army first whilst the different one will enhance the little ones then the different individual can connect ,you are able to desire to be stationed collectively however the percentages on that are 50/50 reckoning on what the activity you experienced for is and you get stationed right here in the states .yet once you have no young ones and connect collectively that could desire to be plenty distinctive .

spousal colocation is NOT offered to First termers. Nor is it guaranteed for anybody else. They try, but they do not promise anything. and anything within 150 miles is considered 'together'
Most likely scenario: you get in, get through Basic and AIT, then get assigned to your duty station. In the meantime, your spouse stays put/requests an extension until you get to where you are going. Then he requests to get stationed where you are.

Yes, if you are married they will assign you together.

It would be best to pose that question to a recruiter
