It wouldn't be exactly 10 months but you will have to go through:

6wks of BMT

8 wks of SW prep

4 wks A&S

4 wks Predive

6 wks of Dive school

Then you are able to PCS to Kirtland NM where your family can move in with you. For more info about family in the pipeline/operational see my youtube video here.

You will be able to have your phone at some points even through basic, but you will always have it after duty hours at selection. You will have an opportunity to spend time with your family after you graduate basic. But you need to get your mind right, YES talking with family is very important, however you need to not worry about that. Focus on passing and getting through.

You are always going to have a satellite phone on you and can call back. It just depends on what kind of stuff you are doing, there are a few times when you have to work all night or fly. In those cases maybe you won't be able to call…but 90 percent of the time you will be able to call them. On some deployments you might even be able to get a sim card for your cell phone or internet in your room, it also depends on where you’re deployed. But in my experience it is the best practice to not have/plan specific times to talk.

Deployments are 4-5 MO and TDYs can be days to months most units will deploy every 18 months. Typically they try to not make guys with families gone for extended periods of time, but the mission dictates what you need to do so just like everything we plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Everyone is busy, you are just going to have to prioritize your time well. It's definitely not the easiest thing to do, but it can be done. Remember that training to become a PJ is really the start of your future PJ career.

During the pipeline you will be able to take leave in between schools to see family pretty much every other month until you get in to paramedic/apprentice course.

You can expect to be gone a lot even when you are home. My first year I was gone around 300 days, it slows down to around 200 after that.

She would have to meet her time on station or deros requirements... Depending on where she is. You wouldn't get joined together immediately. I would speak with your personnel section to get a more definite answer.

I wouldn't count on it. You will most likely have time after dive school. Also, there will be time allotted during the pipeline to go home for holidays.
