Yes absolutely!
The first 4 weeks you are expected to stay on camp to settle in, there will be a families day between week 4-6 where your families can visit.
After week 8 you can go home at weekends if the training programme is clear of duty or training.
There will be a period of leave through your training, this will depend on when your training starts
Hope this answers your question
