The days of terminal leave AND a class date are rather the rarity. I have only met a couple of guys w/i the last year who happened to get a class date either before they went on terminal leave or while they were on terminal leave. The last guy I met just got lucky..... he was called (for some reason) to be one of the purple noobs and I guess he was the test case -- all military fast time, no previous 121 experience. He was VERY lucky.
