Yes you can.

Best way:

Get your Citizenship, you should be able to get help from the Navy Legal service, never seen a post about the Navy, all Army and Marines, but the principal should be the same. Do this NOW.

You accan n apply for K3/4 as soon as you are married, but as a LPR you will have a very long wait, BUT as soon as you have your Citizenship you can upgrade.

You do not say where you are based, if you can go through the London Consulate that would be best bet, called here DCF.

You can gather all the documents.

You can file as a LPR, but you need a Visa number, 6 year wait last time I looked, no wait for Citizens.

can you not get the Navy people to help you navigate through your options? I am sure they are used to what has to be done to bring spouses of their employees to the USA.

Good luck to you!!
