Do basic cadets have any free time?
Yes, but very little. You’ll get up at 5:30 in the morning and go to bed at 10:30 at night; however, sufficient time for relaxation is built into the daily schedule. Each evening there is time to shower and attend to personal hygiene. In addition, time is available, just before taps (the last bugle call before lights out), to study, write letters or rest. Adequate time is also allowed for sleep, meals, breaks and religious worship.
