For me, it was 13 weeks with no passes except for one pass between the two phases (after 8 weeks). Total control all the way. It was as bad as it gets. ;)

The 9th Infantry Division was reactivated in May of 1972 and was an experimental Division trying a lot of new things such as the OJT training after basic instead of AIT, Aviation officers having commands outside of aviation, new enlistment rules for the locals of the North West region, new technology testing of dune buggies and such, the Rangers were brought back, no KP and all kinds of odd stuff.

Some activities were fun such as the mountain stuff and snow skiing but marching in parades in Seattle was a hassle, the 9th was OK.
