you might be able to, however, you can only remain in DEP for 12 months, AND you could lose any schools you have guarenteed if you wait.  Scheduling of Boot Camp depends on all your follow on schooling.

When I went through Basic Training the phones were available to us for a block of time on Sundays...I believe 10 AM till 2 PM.   There were a lot of factors involved in using the telephone though.   The biggest factor was that there were three pay phones and about 250 people that wanted to use them...and generally no limit on time you were allowed to talk...or how many calls you could make.   So, if he isn't big on standing in long lines all day....then he may just be opting not to call.   During basic training free time...I liked to sleep and/or just rest.   \n\nSome people get pulled for extra duty and aren't able to use the phones during that time.   \n\nSome people lose phone priviledges by screwing something up that week.\n\nMany factors.    \n\nOne thing they don't hold back is the US Mail.   Send postcards and letters.   He is given time to write back...even short notes.

Yes you can, providing you meet all of the requirements that any one enlisting in the service must meet.\n\nFlap Jackson is incorrect.

Lots of soldiers do get R&R leave (2 weeks of uncharged leave) in the middle of a year-long deployment.  This, however, is not guaranteed, and I don't think you can request.  I'm pretty sure it has to just be given to you.  SO, it depends on many factors, but yes, it is possible.

I went to Ft Jackson SC in modern buildings that have males and females in attached wings but mess hall is also in another wing. To make your bed you tuck sheets in tight and have hospital corners. Physical Training is about 2 hours a day starting at 0530 then you eat for 10 minutes then you shower, shave, brush teeth, and change uniforms. Classroom training for 2 hours (you do not want to fall asleep in there just see what your DI (Drill Instructor) will make you do. Weapons training on a firing range shooting targets up to 300 yds away. Wash your clothes at night road march on base and cattle car transportation in field over 10 miles from barracks. 6 weeks of the best training in my life and I lost 10 pounds. I also run the two mile in 15.30 no fraternizing in basic training but you wait until AT (Advanced Training ) which I recommend right after BT (Basic Training) when you are still in good shape. I served for 8 years in ARNG MN/WI then got honorable discharge. Be all that you can be.

normally a few weeks, but that's with lag time and shippingl.  it can be done in a few days if you have the resources which the military will have

Hey Congratulations. I myself leave for USAF BMT August 1st, 2006. I will be seeing you a week later I guess. I have done a whole lot of research on the Air Force, and lifestyles and such. It seems to be an awesome program to go into, as long as yyou don't mind always being under other people's command, but you will get that with any branch. You made a smart decision, but remember, the USAF is not right for everyone, you will determine that maybe within your first year to year and a half. I am also DEP commander for my unit in Eastpointe, MI. If you need to know ANYTHING about the Air Force, contact me, and I guarantee I will get you an honest answer. Til then, I'll probably see your Rainbow Flight at Lackland when you get there.

really depends on the command's discretion.. if they want to drag it out as long as possible, they will.  If they want you gone, you can be in civiies in a week.

Talk to your supervisor and see what they are willing to arrange. They are not required by any law to meet your schedule.

I won't stoop low and say this is a dumb question but it is for your S-1.  I can't even remember if it's actually in a regulation.  You may have already been told this but I believe it's 5 days before you start leave.  If you're having problems with your S-1, see if your MILPERS,PSB or Transition Center can answer that question.  They should have a memo regulating the timeline for clearance.  You'll have to clear your unit before the installation so you'd probably start clearing before the 5 days.  But again, I don't think there's a regulation just command policy memo's.

It all depends on the attitude you go in with, as long as your are not cocky and you know from the beginning that they can't do physical harm to you no matter what they say and you remember that the 11 weeks will end it should be no problem.  It is only as hard as you make it.  I did my basic 20 years ago from July - September.  I will say it was the most rewarding experience I ever had in the Army.  The only physical training I suggest you do before you go is to run 2 to 3 miles per day in about 8 minutes per mile at the slowest and start working on your push ups.  If you choose to go in Best of Luck to you.

It depends.  If you have balanced your conditioning so that you have both strength and aerobic fitness then you should find the Army's physical training regimen to be not that tough.\n\nIf you have been lifting weights but not doing aerobics then the Army will correct this during basic training.\n\nOf course this is assuming that you do not have any medical problems that would render you as not qualified for military service.
