unless your husband is stationed overseas, most military posts/bases are near a community with a college... you would have to transfer to whatever school he gets stationed near.
Finding a job in your field on base... it depends on the base. BUT there will be pre-schools and child care centers in the local community that will probably be hiring at various times.
You may not be able to find a job on base with an associates degree. Many of the teachers/tutors on base are graduate students. There is a lot of competition on bases for jobs for military wives. Your best option, if your husband does join, is to apply for a license through the base to open as a daycare. (if you are looking to work with children.) It is subsidized by the government, so completely free for you. Another thing you may want to look into is completing a BS in Education while he is in. It will make better jobs available to you and you are likely to get it free through scholarships for military wives.

Explanation = FAIL!
Hope your employer notices you wasting his time and money asking DUMB questions on the net.
shouting is not necessary.
you are on your own as far as getting an education and a job afterward. at one duty station it may be easy, in another, impossible.
Yes, it will be hard to impossible !
