I got my 368 approved. All paperwork is signed and sent up by recruiter. All that is left is going to the councilor at meps.
1. Someone told me before I get to my duty station I'll have to go to ft leonard wood for in processing. Is this true and if it is what's it like?
2. My entire transfer process has been much quicker than I was told and thought. It has taken only 3 months when I was told to expect a year wait. Ive been engaged for a few months and planned on getting married before I left. When Do you think the best time to tie the knot would be? After meps before I eave or when I arrive at my duty station?

Depends on when you have to go to FLW, what day did you have planned to get married, if it's close to when you go to FLW, I'd get married two weeks out.

You could do a quick wedding now and then a formal one later, on your anniversary perhaps. This way you can get all of your dependents stuff done when you in-process, or at least get it started. A married RP member may give you better advice.
