I left for the first two longer breaks, but not the last one. You will have some 3-4 day gaps once you are in the CPT/Sim phases just because there are too many trainees to get everyone in the sim every day. Some guys who lived in Florida went home weekly and one guy daily.
Big Tip: IF you do decide to go somewhere, make sure you talk to the schedulers, Dee or Sandra, to ensure that they know you are leaving. If you don't and they move training into your gap, you will be responsible for it and probably fired or at least get in some trouble if you no show it because you went home.
