Once they go through PIR they're considered sailors and A school is just the next step. Even if they don't class up (start classes) right away they won't be idle. They'll have to do PT, muster, stand watch, clean stuff, and will have the opportunity to do some on-line classes. Some have to wait months to class up, others for weeks, it depends on many factors. They have to complete 3 phases before they have freedom to come and go off base as much as they'd like. It usually take 3-6 weeks to complete the 3 phases. But regardless they'll no longer be recruits, they'll be sailors.

Thanks so much for answering this for me. He has told me that he probably won't get to come home anytime soon so I expected that but it is nice to know at least he won't be on the recruit side. Unfortunately, I do not see how he will be able to advance through the stages to earn privledges if he is on hold and is not actually in class to advance. I do at least feel a little better now so again, thanks!

Their liberty phases are not tied to their A school classes. The barracks (ship) he will be in will provide training and opportunities to take written tests on the rules, plus passing room inspection, uniform inspection and such. He will be supervised to a great extent by the barracks staff, not just his school staff.
There are only two liberty phases, not three. Even if they phase all the way up, the overnights are only on weekends, they must have liberty buddies because no one goes alone, and they must stay within 300 miles of the base.
