Ask your BIL when he thinks he could attend, and go with that. It's a gamble, and you might not get him there, but if he's going to be an Army Ranger, there's not likely to ever be a sure time.

I couldn't tell you if he is going to be available for Spring of 2013. He would have to get through RASP first and be assigned to a BTN. After that, he may be able to be there if your wedding is on a long weekend and he can get a pass to go that far. Other than that, you would have to wait to find out when his block leave would be. They get two weeks a bit before deployment and 2 weeks a bit after each deployment. They are gone A LOT.

There are sure times, but they are few and far between.
[QUOTE]His Ranger contract depends on how well he does in Airborne School. After AIT, he'll go to Airborne. I'm pretty sure that's still 3 weeks. After that, he'll go to RASP for at least 8 weeks. I say at least because you can be recycled very, very easily. During RASP, they'll decide if they want him in Regiment. If they want him, they'll send him to a battalion for at least one training and deployment rotation before Ranger School. I couldn't tell you if he is going to be available for Spring of 2013.
