Holiday Exodus
• Altus AFB flying operations shut down during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods. The actual dates of these breaks in flying training will be published in the September prior to the upcoming season. Simulator and Academic events may still be scheduled during the holiday period. Often the simulator/academic schedules are not finalized until a few weeks, or even days, prior to the start of the holiday break. Therefore, students in the academic/simulator phase of training may not know their Holiday schedules until just before the holiday break!
• All Active Duty, AFRC, and ANG students are given the following options during their holiday break: – 1) Remain in the local area and comply with 97 OG reporting instructions– 2) Return to their home unit at their (or their unit's) expense– 3) Take personal leave.
• Students who elect to remain in the Altus local area may be given a special pass, not to exceed 4 days, IAW AFI 36-3003.
