You should get 2 weeks - most likely December 20th to January 4th (ish), but don't quote me.

Don't expect that to happen once you're out of training either!
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.

My brother in law was at RTS over the Xmas break when he joined.

He got 2 weeks of, make sure mate you batter the phys whilst on leave or that 1 extra mince pie n bottle of beer will make life hell when you get back ;-)
