There isnt really a specific timeline for the phases, each sailor is different. We are in Pcola and my husband really wanted his freedom and got his phase II in 4 days. They told him he is one of the fastest they have ever seen. But it is possible...just tell him to work his butt off :)

Def better to ask in a school specific group. For example my husbands aschool in pcola is 2wks phase 1 - must be in uniform at all times, can only leave base in uniform on wkends with a buddy. nightly curfews. 2wks in phase 2 - can now wear civies. can leave base on wkdays and weekends w/ buddy , nightly curfews then phase three - can leave base Fri and report back sunday night. In comparision my brother n law is in Charleston and they are in phase one for an entire month, but their curfews are a lot later.

well phase are different for different A schools honestly. The best bet would be to find a group for your school and ask on there. Phases are generally about the same time as long as they get all the requirements done whatever they may be.

Can someone explain to me all the phase stuff? LOL. I need help figuring out what the time line is with all of it. Or is it a lost cause?
