Being away during Thanksgiving and Christmas
I'm currently on my 10-day boot leave.. I'll be at my MOS school during Thanksgiving and Christmas. It'll be the first time being away from home for such big holidays.
My Mom was telling me about some 4-day leave/liberty. Something about leave and liberty being combined? Also that some MOS schools 'shut down' for the holidays and give Marines leave? At boot camp when we were giving our class on Leave and Liberty, by our COMPANY FIRST SERGEANT, we were told that we'd most likely get up to a 98 (or 96?) hour liberty for holidays ......
So does it all depend on your MOS school? What most likely happens?
But, getting back on track.. In the event that I'm away from home during Thanksgiving and Christmas, what's the best way to cope with that? I'm very close to my family and it's going to be very hard if I'm not home. I knew while being in the Marine Corps I'd have to sacrifice certain things, such as this situation. I've already had to miss my sisters wedding due to boot camp.

P.S - my MOS is B6 Ground Option, which probably makes answering this question a bit harder lol. I guess I won't find out my actual MOS until MCT
