<p>I would like to hear from the current cadets there how the went about arranging their travel plans for thanksgiving… Alot of my friends who are going to civilian colleges started booking their flights home already… but the cadets aren’t allowed to leave untill after their last military obligation/duty… </p>
<p>plus is it alot cheaper to use the Air Force Academy’s Travel agency?</p>
<p>You're not even there yet and you're planning on leaving? heh - just playing. It's a good question, wish I had the answer. I do have something to add though. Since there isn't going to be a football game labor day weekend, would it be possible for me to go back to my hometown during this time? (I live 5 hrs from the Academy)</p>
<p>DO NOT book any travel or make ANY plans until you're there, BCT is over and you know EXACTLY, in writing, when you will be released. Labor Day Weekend is a possibility this year, but I wouldn't plan on being able to travel if you're a fourthclassman. If you buy a ticket and the military's plans for you change--or you misinterpret instructions--you'll almost certainly be out of luck and have to suck up the change fee or whole ticket price. Welcome to the military folks.</p>
