Spouse in Military; Faster Processing and Interview Concern

[Chomage]

My Fingerprint appt for my AOS is scheduled for Jan 6. My husband (USC) is in the nat'l guard and will go away to basic training jan 29th '07.

1) I heard that poeple in the military have 1) greater chances of the interview going more smoothly and 2) much faster processing than everyone else. My cousin got her green card about 2 weeks after her application was received. Any experiences or first hand knowledge about this??

2) My Big Worry : 3 weeks after my FP appt. he'll be gone to Texas for training and won't return to new york for 5 mths. He can't leave the base.
a) How much will this delay my application if my interview is scheduled for - after his deploy date?
b) Can I be interviewed by myself?
c) If so, what's the nature of this kind of solo interview?
b) Do you know of anyone on a military base, esp during basic training, being allowed to leave for an immigration interview?

As many or as little answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.
