They usually call when they finish battle stations. How far along into boot camp is he? Mine got to call twice in one week. I think it all depends on several variables.

Mine called about week 3 but not again until after battlestations and the "Hi mom, I'm a sailor!" call.

Cody had 4 calls during basic; the "I'm here" call, one in late May (he left May 12), one in mid June, and then the "I'm a sailor" call after battlestations. After PIR he was allowed to have his phone so lots more calls then. As for leaving base, they can. Most divisions have to be back by a certain time, but they can leave the base. If they have watch they will have to return to base for it, but it's only a few hours. Cody's division had to be in uniform unless they were in a residence during the weekend. Hope that helps.
