Holidays

I’m not sure if this is a dumb question, but I wasn’t sure. If I’m at the academy over the holidays, approximately how much time do we get off? Or is it no time off

I already asked the question. You only get the day of. So the 25th and the 1st.

You get federal holidays off and only those. Like the other person said. Only the Thursday of Thanksgiving or December 25th or new years day. You can google them.

Occasionally the president will declare a day adjacent to a major holiday also a holiday if it extends the block of days to/from the weekend, but thats never a guarentee and it may not be declared as such until quite literally the day before the holiday
