<p>You can get one three-week period of leave. You need to do something during the other two. An easy way to explain it would be that there are “core” programs that everyone does, then there are “electives.” Although, as a cadet, you may be voluntold into an “elective” course. Two degrees and Firsties usually get more choices. I have also heard that your grades/standings will effect whether you can get your first choice or not.</p>
