I have a couple of questions about leave/liberty. I know liberty is extremely limited especially during 4/c year, but does anyone have more info on that and info on liberty the other three years?

When we get overnight liberty for certain holidays, can we sleep off base or go away from Academy grounds?

Any and all information on leave and liberty is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Weekend liberty increases as you advance. In your 4/c year you will have military obligations on Saturday morning, you will probably get liberty at noon, expiring at 2200. Then you will get all day Sunday liberty, expiring at 1800. If you leave the academy, you will remain in uniform at all times within (I think) 100 miles.

Compare that with what the 1/c cadets get - their parking lot empties on Friday afternoon and doesn't fill up again until Sunday night.

That is the definition of overnight liberty. :wink:

On some holiday weekends (i.e Labor Day) you can leave on Friday afternoon and you don't have to be back until Monday evening. On Parent's Weekend, you will be able to stay with your parents overnight Friday at their hotel, but you'll have to be back on Saturday morning at 8AM, then you'll be released again after the football game starts and you won't have to be back until Sunday evening.

Leave is different - for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring leave you can leave the academy after your Last Military Obligation (LMO). Some 4/c will have duty and will not always be able to leave when their shipmates leave, so don't make your plans too far in advance until you know your duty schedule.

:cool:
 
4/c year - saturday 1200-0100, sunday 0600-1800
3/c year- same as above plus friday 1600-2400
2/c year- same plus connect saturday night to sunday morning (overnight, "shorts" every weekend
1/c year- same plus thursday night libo
 
When you're on Christmas/Thanksgiving/Summer leave, are you to remain in uniform?
 
no, when you're 75 miles away from the academy you're free. you just have to travel to and from the academy in uniform as a 4/c. if you live within 75 miles though then you are allowed to wear civies during leave (not liberty) periods
 
What are the regs on people coming to visit you(girlfriend, family, friends)? Is it allowed at all?
 
anyone can come on base until 2200 but they cant come into the barracks.
