1. Can a Service member have off post weekends free (or national holidays) during Airborne School?

Yeah, you get the weekends off during BAC.

2. And what about days off while he is in hold over for R.I.P.?

There was no hold over when I went through RIP. Don't know.

3. If a Service member goes AWOL after Airborne School graduation while he is in hold over for R.I.P., whom is he going to be punished by if he turns himself in after that? By his Company C.O. of the 507th Infantry Regiment or the 75th Ranger Regiment's?

Who gives a shit? AWOL-ers are cowards and not worthy of any consideration. They should rot in Hell.

4. How many bunks are inside a single room of the Airborne School barracks?

I think it was two back in my day. (BAC class 14-84)

5. Where the latrine is located in Airborne School? Inside the barracks building or outside? If outside, is a Service member allowed to go there by himself when the lights are turned off?

I'd hazard to say that all government buildings have shitters in them. They even have running water. I doubt anybody would bust your balls for using them.

6. Is a Service member allowed to talk inside the chow hall of the Airborne School or are the Instructors strict about not to give permission for that even there?

Depends on the Black Hats in question. Easiest thing to do regardless is to keep your man pleaser closed, stuff your face, and get back to training.

Well, that's all for now. If you want to get me smoked after answering these questions, no problem. I'll be happy doing that!... Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Hope that helps.
