Foot still hurts a week after mild sprain, is this ok? when should i start physical therapy? how much longer til i can walk with no pain? basic in 3?

Normal: This is normal, start PT as soon as possible, walking without pain is very individual and depends on the degree of sorain and how much damage occured. Basic in 3 if you can walk and run without pain

Should be Ok: If it is a mild sprain and there are no fractures you should be OK for basic training in 3 weeks.
