It will be hard to get home, but yes, you will have days off.
You will start getting flight benefits a couple weeks in. Some people had their wives/significant others come and visit them.
I can't remember the exact breakdown. Someone that has been through more recently might be able to give you better numbers.
Indoc: 6 days
Systems: 8 days?
IPT's: 10 days
End of Course: 1 day
CSI: 3 days
Or something like that.
Then you will take your oral, and off to sims.
Our class went as a group to the Air Force Museum on one weekend. We also had a lot of "fellowship" time at some local restaurants.
If you are hired soon, you will likely be in training during the holidays. I know they give you something like 4 or 5 days off for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but you make it up on Saturdays.
