Default PPL Training Duration

Can anyone give me an approximate time on how long it could take me to get my PPL? I know about the FAA's minimums and all of that... trust me, I've done my homework! But, what's the quickest you can get this done while still being in the safe, responsible pilot window?

Here's my deal:

- Currently deployed in SW Asia for USAF (enlisted NDT tech)

- Arriving home in May, using all tax free pay and entitlments towards PPL

- August, I'll be going from Active Duty to Reserve status (Palace Chase) and moving to a new town to finish my college degree.

So my question is, if I fly 4 - 5 times per week (fairly good weather in SC during the summer) will I be able to finish my PPL in the time between middle of May and mid August? Here's the kicker - I've already had about 10 hours of PPL training but it was last year.My car broke down and thus I ran out of money that I could dedicate to flying. Thanks for your help, guys!
