About 6.5 months. After I got my 180 day start over and sent to my own home as a newcomer, I was getting worn down. The Execs threatened to transfer me to Boston; even sending Boston Execs to Cinci to "observe". I fought like hell and was rewarded with decompression at a psych ward. Then home like nothing ever happened...Jason

18 months

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

After looking over the ranges of time spent by survivors of Str8, I began to wonder why. Some people misbehaved, complied, "slid thru", actually believed (at the time they were being "treated" or a combination of the above.

Going through my books (as I load out), one quote summed up my position pretty damn well:

"A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week"
(General George S. Patton, Jr. U.S. Army)

Any thoughts? It's fucking ancient history, but I still wonder how and why some people were stuck there for so long...Any thoughts? Jason

I think my first phase was a few months because I copped out twice and was started over twice. 5th phase was a bit over a year. I freaked out in open meeting on 5th phase and was yelling, swearing, laughing, crying and kicking over chairs. Put on a 3rd phase 14 day refresher.
Of course my reference of time is a bit hazy after all these years so I can't give exact time lengths. I know that I didn't spend very much time on 2nd - 4th phases.

I remember how we had to write days on each phase at the top of our MI's, but those have been gone for ages. I threw all of them away shortly after coming home.

Damn, now I'm sitting here trying to figure these months out....

I cant beleive it, but I actually remember pretty well how long I spent on each phase. 1st was about 2-3 months (probably closer to 2+ some). 2nd and 3rd I am a bit fuzzy about, but I think 2nd was a few weeks to a month, 3rd was about 2-3 months, 4th was 6 months with one brief set back to 3rd, and 5th was 4 months.

I never misbehaved nor copped out and was fairly compliant, out of fear of course.
