Does the Army send people out to start basic training during November & December? I'm trying to leave as soon as possible but not sure if this is something the Army will do because of Thanksgiving/Christmas...do they send people to start at this time of year or would January be the earliest I could leave?
EDIT: I did reach out to my recruiter to ask this but haven't heard back in a couple days so just figured I'd see if anyone here had any info on this

I've reached out to mine but haven't heard back in a couple days, so I'm just trying to see here if anyone has an idea. I should've mentioned that in the original post

Look, left in Oct 73, family could visit me at the base in the mess hall for Thanksgiving. Lucked out and had a break from Dec23 to Jan 2 before reporting to Ft Polk.

Ya, went to basic at Ft. Benning on November 9th. Who would want to do basic down there in the summer?
