On weekends off would it be acceptable for me to catch a quick flight home if I could make it back on base for my Monday morning PT? Of course this would only be available if I had no duties to do during the weekend in question. Would I have to put in a leave form or travel request to do this?
Sorry for the simple question, I'm straight from OSUT and no one there could give me a straight answer on this topic.

It doesn't matter what anyone on RP tells you. The only correct answer to that question will come from your chain of command.

Usually, there is a mile restriction on regular weekends. Check with your NCO leadership to see what that radius is.

I think that my units both pt a 150-200 mile radius without a pass. At Hood it was enough to get to Austin on the Weekend and at Carson far enough to go snowboard if you wanted to.

I used to allow a sailor of mine travel 500 miles each weekend to see his family (Mom was undergoing chemo). He had a plan to get back on time, and a backup to that plan. That was a special case. The best thing would be to talk to your chain of command. Understand that as a newbie to the command, you will probably have to build up some credibility with them before they allow something out of the ordinary,
