Hi guys I’m shipping out late November and it falls during holiday exodus(?) I really want to do HRAP because I heard it doesn’t take leave days. (Is this true, and do you get paid during this)
However I don’t want to be the only one who stays for holiday exodus so I don’t know what to do.
Thanks!

If you have an option for HRAP then use it. Normally they want to wait until you are out of Basic to work in the recruiting office because you're supposed to talk about your experiences. However, if they let you DO IT, it would save you from going in the hole on leave, you would earn extra TDY money and they might even cover some of the cost for you to get home.

I would visit family and friends as it will be tougher to accomplish that, further into your career.
