Yes, you can communicate with people mainly through e-mail. During BCT you will only be allowed to write letters and call your family on Doolie Day Out and as the academic year moves on you will probably get cell phone privileges back depending on your squad. Weekends are the regular two days with certain restrictions, with it being either a silver or blue weekend (I can never remember which is the restricted one). Your family can visit you on Doolie Day Out, Acceptance Day Parade, Parent’s Weekend and various holidays. You will get time off for Thanksgiving(1 week), Christmas (2 weeks), and Spring Break (1 week). You will also get off the regular holidays such as Veterans Day, President’s, etc. You will have to stay on campus for those ones. Don’t know much about the other questions but good luck.

Current cadets and parents correct me if I’m wrong on any of this stuff.
