FORT GREGG-ADAMS, Va. — This year during Holiday Block leave from Dec. 17-Jan. 5, various activities will adjust their hours and close for the holidays.
Holiday Block Leave marks the time when the Army’s newest Soldiers depart training in mid-December for the holiday season from Fort Gregg-Adams and 20 other installations around the United States.
HBL provides families with the opportunity to reconnect with their Soldiers and to learn about their Soldiers’ experiences. Also, Soldiers can share their experiences with those outside of the Army in their hometowns, providing a better understanding of what the Army is and how the Army is training its newest Soldiers.
While a lot of the attention during this period is on the trainees and students, it is just as important to give the drill sergeants and cadre a break from an almost non-stop training cycle.
Soldiers have the option of traveling home to reconnect with their families and friends or they can remain on post where they will be supported throughout the holidays by their unit and the installation.
The garrison and U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command have identified morale, welfare and recreation activities to ensure the well-being of Soldiers who decide to stay at their training locations during Holiday Block Leave.
With the holidays and the reduced population on the installation, some activities on Fort Gregg-Adams have adjusted their hours of operation.
Any activities not listed, please contact the staff directly. A phone roster is available here. https://home.army.mil/greggadams/contact/phonebook
The gate times will be adjusted for Holiday Block Leave and Winter/Christmas Break for Prince George Schools.
