I hit SL in January and I'm probably will make it in December at the earlier but Spring 2009 is probably be when I actually hit it.
We are probably about a two month difference between our growth. I think around February/March I had reached SL.
Right now, I am so in between shoulder and APL. I originally had my APL length goal set for the end of October, but I changed it again for a whole year and March is my new goal.
Honestly, I am not sure if I will reach this goal. Every year since I was 19 my hair falls out on the right back side of my head between October thru December. I am not sure if this is Alopecia or not, but my hair falls out ususally to 1 inch or bald in spots.

When I signed up for the 2008 Bootcamp last December (10 months ago), the back of my hair was full collar bone length.
This past Sunday When I took down my cornrows, it didn't look as if I'd reached armpit length. So I measured the distance between full shoulder length and full armpit length: it's 6 inches. From full shoulder length to full BSL is 10 inches! My hair seems to grow around 4 inches per year. I really wanted to make APL this year, but now I'm not sure what will happen :/.
ETA: I haven't had a trim since September 2007 (or somewhere around that time), and I don't plan on doing one this year. My hair growing, and I'm retaining the length. I'll just have to be patient and continue to be consistent with what I'm doing.

I have to share this quote that I pulled from another thread in which most posters said getting from SL to APL was the hardest:
It took me more than 15 months to get to shoulder length, and I thought that was really hard! I've only have been reaching for APL for 10 months, so maybe I'm being too impatient.
I'm thinking the harder is whatever goal one is looking/hoping to achieve!!! Get it

That explains a lot, am only 5 6", and when you were stating the distances I was like nah, mines was sure different when I measured, My hair is SL and 3.5 inches from APL, and I am 16 inches from nape to full WL. For taller people, it may appear that the hair is growing slower than it actually is. Especially when seeing how fast others are reaching these landmarks. I guess its back to patience, your hair is growing

Been waiting for a while...think I claimed collar bone before it was really time coz I'm still at collarbone 7 months later
i trust that i'll get to apl eventually. just concentrating on healthy hair and retaining length right now.
It seems as though I've been at collarbone length since February. I did cut may be a half inch -but geez I'm still at collarbone in October.

Yeah it's almost like field trip...back in the day as kids...where we continue to ask our parents "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?..."

It’s taking me forever to get to full APL. I’ve been just grazing it forever! I wanted to be at BSL by December, but I haven’t made full APL yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been growing out layers, so I’ve been slightly aggressive with the trims…but still!
