  I was wondering if you're allowed to apply for off or leave for just a day to take TP test for your driving license..?
  
  If anyone else could add what life in command school is like, please do.. Cheers.

  trainees are not entitled to take leave. yes u may apply for off (if u have them), subjected to the approval of the OC.
  
  if u do not have any offs and will like to use the TP test as an excuse to take day off, i suggest u forget about it. u are not the first one i came across asking the same question. and i always tell them, why must the whole company training schedule be affected just because one selfish guy wants to take off for his TP test?
  
  and what if everyone in the company wants to take off for every petty little reason? today is my mum's birthday, can i take off? today my pet died, can i take off? u get the idea? i hope u understand.

  u can apply,provided that..
  
  1} u do it in advance,best if one-two weeks
  
  and
  
  2) the date of the test does not affect that alrdy tight schedule of urs.
  
  but i wldn't recommend u to do that.
  
  u might have to come back for make-ups during ur one week off after POP.

  check with your superior first whether there are anything planned for that Saturday. who know what unexpected things might happen? like guard duties.
