It sounds like the boot camp time wasn't included in figuring the eight years.  I'm not an Arizona attorney, so I can't tell you whether this was done correctly or not.  If you want to try and have that time credited to your sentence served, you will probably have to get the prosecutor to agree.  Something like this gets very technical, and if getting off parole earlier matters enough, you should have an attorney's help.  One place to find a qualified lawyer, if the one who represented you originally isn't available, is our website, http://attorneypages.com

I'd recommend that you don't depend on the calendar;  wait until you have something in writing that tells you that you are done.  Your parole officer's "attitude" can do a lot worse than you can manage by giving her lip, until then.
