Holidays in the military (Christmas, etc.)

[Guest Hydro130]

What is the typical radius and how is that radius defined? For an example would a 200mi radius mean that you are allowed to drive 200mi or would it mean that there is actually a circle surrounding the base with a 200mi radius?

Thanks

By the way does anyone know what that radius is at Columbus during Casual and during UPT? Are they the same/different?

It depends; it can vary a lot. You'll have to wait to learn specific details at your unit.

Can't help with the UPT bases' current policies, but it will be made exceedingly clear when you in-process.

Cheers, Hydro

Generally at UPT bases (I know it depends on the base and your commander) how many days off can I expect for Thanksgiving and Christmas? Just wondering if for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas I will be able to take leave to get home to visit family. Thanks for your advice.
