Almost nobody goes home during ground. Weekends aren't good non reving either. I would suggest against it but that's just my opinion. A few guys did and they made it. I had a couple in my class who struggled and even didn't make it and I wonder if that's why.

During sims like said before you'll have multiple days off to go home and you totally can like after your PV, MV, etc. After each check I had 3 days off.
