Phasing Up while in A school after boot camp.... I got this from Jacq on Pcola site
Hope this helps.... yes they have sooo much more freedom and so do you once they leave BC
Once your sailor has completed INDOC he/she will permitted weekend liberty. Liberty is broken up into three phases, which they must earn. All students arrive Pensacola in Phase I, even those who have completed some schooling in Great Lakes. Liberty is their time off and should not be confused with LEAVE. Leave is similar to Annual Leave or Vacation time in the civilian world. Leave must be requested on a CHIT (in writing) and approved, in advance, by every one of rank up the sailor’s Chain of Command to and including the Commanding Officer.
PHASE I – Must wear their military uniforms at all times outside of their barracks. The sailors can leave the base on liberty with a buddy (never by themselves), must be in uniform the entire time and must return to the base no later than 2200 (10:00
pm). While in Phase I, the sailors will muster 2 to 4 times a day. To muster,
basically, means that they gather, in uniform, and take a head count to make
sure all personnel are present and accounted for and is usually performed at
their barracks. Phase I is normally for approximately 2 weeks.
PHASE II – May now wear their civilian clothes, but still are restricted to leaving the base only with a buddy and do not have to return to the base until midnight. Phase II is normally a 3 week evolution.
PHASE III – In this phase the sailor can leave the base on Friday night and does not have to return until 2200 on Sunday night.
While on liberty the sailors are restricted to be within a certain number of miles from the base. I am not sure what the exact limit is for this area but it is normally 230 - 250
miles. Panama City, FL and New Orleans, LA are on the off limits/restricted list.
The various phases of liberty are earned by each sailor. They can and will be taken away from ALL sailors based on the actions of one sailor. In other words, if one sailor gets into some sort of trouble, EVERYONE in that sailors group, school or barracks could also be busted back in their liberty phase.
This is a very hard lesson to learn for some!!
