While I realize that things may be different in different companies, at what point do Plebes begin standing watches? Are there other duty assignments at USNA besides standing watch?

I read somewhere that Mids are cleared for holiday travel after their last exams and duty assignments. Does this ever preclude a Mid from returning home over a long break (i.e. Christmas)?

Thanks in advance. We’re just trying to better understand our D’s new responsibilities.
