Leave at the Academy??
Depending on when you start, don't expect a decent break until Christmas comes up, if it comes up during your training.
I hear at least one recent course took so long its members had
two Christmases during their time in the Academy. And the odd single day of forced leave for 'staff development' purposes, but that's another story entirely.
Good luck to those kicking off tomorrow. You'll need it, and a whole lot of hard work, to come out the other end rated and smiling eighteen or so months down the track. But hey, livin' the dream, and all that.
