I’ve been digging but couldn’t seem to find the answer to my question. Do academy new hires going to their facility get 8 days COS leave? If so, do weekends count towards those 8 days?

Yes you’ll get “x” amount of “travel days” to go from OKC to your first facility. You’ll also get an additional 8 days COS if you choose to use (you have 2yrs to use it) if you want to save some. No weekends don’t count for the days. For example, I went to ZMP after the academy and it was 2 travel days, then an additional 8COS days.
Thank you! If you were to fly from OKC, would they let you fly somewhere other than where your facility is? I would like to fly home to pack my place and then drive to my facility.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly: if my placement day is on Friday and I have two travel days to reach my facility, plus weekends don’t count, that means I don’t have to be at my facility until Wednesday?
Does anyone know if you still get COS leave if you got in via the N90 local bid, where you had to already live close to the facility to even begin the hiring process? I fall within the 50 mile radius, but I would probably be looking to move shortly after starting to make my commute less insane.
Tell them you are driving to your facility and get your travel days, they reimburse mileage (or give you the cheapest flight they can find, whichever is less). Then buy your own plane ticket home and drive from there. Hopefully your home isn’t in the opposite direction of your facility.
