Can I join my spouse in Fort Lewis with less than a year left in the Army?

I have 9 months let in the army and my fiancé and I are about to get married. We are both military (Army) but stationed at different posts. He can't be transferred to my post because his MOS isn't stationed here but I can transfer to him.
Is it possible the army will join spouse PCS me with such little time left?

The military will not PCS you with that amount of time left. It is a waste of money.

There’s no point to. By the time you get married and push the paperwork necessary you’ll be out. Just wait and ETS.

No they will not. You will have to ETS and then join him. The will transfer you to home of record, you should be able to travel on those orders as long as it is under the cost otherwise determined by your ETS. Thank you for your service.

Get married and that way when you ETS you can get orders to go there. They won’t transfer you now cause you don’t have time!
