St Athan

Hi.
Do any of the more senior members here know if St Athan base has set shut down times for summer holidays or if recruits can pick their own holiday times?
Thanks.

If anyone is on a training course in the military they will be given 'block leave' and not free to pick. Each course might have different times but they will be told when block leave is.

Ok thanks. I wonder if I can find out when it will be in advance.

Let them at least get to Halton before asking. It would be tempting fate to book a family holiday and (heaven forbid) they didn't pass Halton for some reason. A friend of mine had his wedding booked for 2 weeks after his Phase 1 course was due to finish. He got re-coursed and spent another 6 months in the training system. Wedding was delayed.
