You'll only get positive space to a jB city for one of the programmed breaks.
Thank you... Is every weekend off during the 6 weeks in general? I recall from my previous initial training, guys flying home Friday evenings and rushing back on Sundays for the Monday ground school. (Not the best idea, but some were able to do it...)
