Yeah. However, some numerical genius has scratched "906" into the sides of one of the cubicles in the heads in foundation block.

You will not get much freetime during the first few weeks,you earn it as sort of a 'privilege'.But you do get time off.I think it might be the first weekend you get an afternoon off,and whoevers on the gate has to let a stampede of about 50 freshly sharpened heads out.
Like being a dog let off his lead for 20seconds.
As you progress,you will have most weekends off if youre lucky,the training team will tell you 'Do not f@#k up,youre weekends in later training are vital' and their not lying.You need to either just rest your body and recharge it for the monday morning,or at least get off base for a few hours and get hammered.

P.S. If your poor at admin,you may spend a lot of your time doing a hoofin duty called 'Dirty Bertie' or 'Crabby RCT'
Oohh enjoy mate,hope I havent put you off :lol:
