I'm starting in October; should I also expect breaks in training for Thanksgiving? Do they let you positive space home for breaks like that?
Depends on IOE backlog. They target 6 weeks, it may stretch out to 8 if you get a wait for IOE.
Don't expect to get positive spaced home. It may even hurt you if you do go home. You want to be 100% zoned in during training here. There's little to no wiggle room if you fall behind on your studies due to getting distracted by family activities.
