  15. Does my cadet time count when computing service years for retirement (or other) purposes?
    Generally, cadet time can not be used for computing length of service for any purpose. Federal law (US Code, Title 10, Section 971) says "Service credit: officers may not count service performed while serving as a cadet or midshipman." Subsequent sub-paragraphs discuss this issue in more depth.

  17. When does my cadet get released for Thanksgiving/Winter/Spring Break?
    The Academy scheduling sets the dates for release for the holiday breaks and cadets are not released until after the last military duty (LMD) or last final, whichever is later. Since departures will vary for each cadet, the cadet or the Squadron AOC are the best persons to determine when the cadet can leave.
  18. How can I get my cadet to the airport?
    Contact the Outdoor Recreation Center in Vandenburg Hall, (719) 333-3138/4602, to arrange for transportation to and from the airports during the Thanksgiving and Winter Breaks.

  20. Can I arrange for a tour of the Academy?
    The Academy, the Visitor Center, the Cadet Chapel, the Field House and the Athletic Department Hall of Excellence are open to the public. If the security threat increases, access to the Academy may be restricted. Access to the Cadet Area is restricted at all times and a military ID card is insufficient to gain access.
