Time away from WP

<p>Hi everyone. This is my first post, but I would like to say how helpful this forum has been to me. This has been a great resource and I appreciate the answers that are given here. Anyway, I was wondering how much time cadets are given for holidays, e.g. Christmas, Easter, Summer. I was having trouble finding this info elsewhere, and not that it will change my mind about WP, I just wanted to know.</p>

<p>Take a look at this link for the academic calendar:
<a href="http://www.dean.usma.edu/sebpublic/usmacalendars/default.cfm?usr_actn=acadclndr%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.dean.usma.edu/sebpublic/usmacalendars/default.cfm?usr_actn=acadclndr&lt;/a> </p>

<p>Cadets get 4 days for Thanksgiving, about 2 weeks for Christmas (maybe a day or two longer depending upon when their last exam is), and 10 days for spring break. Summer leave depends upon what training you are scheduled to do. I have heard the average is 3 weeks of leave for summer.</p>

<p>We also get three off for Labor Day, but if you're a Corps Squad athlete your weekends are pretty shot.</p>
