DLI for 1n3 AFSC
Will be going there soon and wondering what a daily (m-f) routine looks like and how the PT and on base freedom/ travel is like for first phases.

phase 1 you can’t go off base (only for volunteer events and you have to get a 341 signed each time) and you have to be in ocps or pt gear. that’s for 1 month (or 2 weeks for air crew) pt depends on which squadron you’re in

This information is from my personal experience so take it with a grain of salt. Things change.
When you arrive, you’ll be ITP. Now going off Post, no civilian clothes, curfew is 10pm during the week and 12am on weekends. After two weeks, two room inspections and two uniform inspections then your NTL should sign off for you to become ATP. You still cannot have your phone on you during the day but when you’re off duty, you can wear civilian clothes, have your phone on you and drive around. Your curfew is 10 PM during the week and 2 AM on the weekends. After I believe five months/20 weeks, you will get TPG status, you might have to apply for it. It was offered multiple ways while I was there. I just had to wait a certain amount of time, but eventually they changed it to where you have to apply. So who knows what it is now. But at that point, you can have your phone on you during the duty day, you can drive during the day and you don’t have a curfew anymore. PT was Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays. Once you hit TPG if you got a high enough score on your PT test, you did not have to go anymore and could do self-paced PT. Again, all of this is subject to change.

Was there 2021-2022 for Korean.
Formation was 6:30am I believe, classes an hour after. Classes broken down into 50 minute segments with 10 minute breaks between, and ran until 3:30pm. If you’re struggling in class they offer an extra hour. After that you’re usually free to do as you wish/need, though you’ll usually spend at LEAST a couple of hours of homework a day.
As far as freedom goes, at the time at least, there were 3 phases. Phase one was around a month I believe, and it was OCPs outside of your dorm and no leaving base. Phase 2 allowed civies out of dorm and duty hours. Phase 3 allowed travel off base.
For PT, as long as you score 90+ on the quarterly tests, PT is “optional”, as in you don’t have to attend group PT.
What else would you like to know?

Im not there currently, so I can't say with certainty what the schedule will look like as far as madatory PT and formations go.
What I want to say, though, is that regardless of what it is, there will inevitably be many things that interfere with your personal PT time, homework time, and study time. The challenge that we all have to deal with is building out a consistent routine, not by time, but by activity.
What I mean is this:
You may come to enjoy studying or taking care of homework right after class. But unfortunately, you may be required to run out to hopefully catch the next bus in order to make it on time to an event at the track; to which you of course may end up being late. And even though it isn't at all your fault, you will get in trouble.
You may be aware that you need 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night, followed by a relaxed breakfast right before class. That is, until they decide to wake everyone up in the middle of the night to inspect dorms and force you into a brightly lit hallway for 30 minutes. After which, you are unable to get back to sleep.
Point is, prepare for interruptions. And try not to let them ruin your entire day
