Do you suggest that I bring my family to Fort Huachuca or leave them at my last duty station until I complete training?

If it is a PCS length School, then you have to bring them. If it is not, then you will be TDY enroute and not authorized to bring them.
If it is a TDY enroute then you will receive assignment instructions to your follow-on duty station 90 days prior to your course start. You will go to the course, return to clear, and leave with your family to your new Duty assignment.

I’m here now. As a MOS-T I’m pretty sure you will have to bring your family at some point, unless you have a special circumstance. The school is considered a PCS cuz it is 10 months long, but the command here is pretty understanding of situations. Most guys with families here had a couple month grace period to bring their families over.

Never leave your family behind if you have a choice-you will be called to leave them enough with field training, Training center rotations and deployments in your career; don’t add missed time if you can help it Brother. Once you lose it you can never get it back

I guess it’s up to you! Sierra Vista is a very small town. If your family would be happier in Gordon, have that discussion! I hope everyone is super happy with whatever you decide to do!
