Recruits don't get any time off for traditional holidays, let alone Navy holidays. You'll get time to yourself and usually a break from the usual grind since everyone else on base is off (save for the cooks and those standing security watches) but the only leave you'll see is when you graduate. Spent Christmas myself in Boot Camp.
Navy Boot Camp, as others, are nominally 8 weeks in length. There are variables which may increase the time spent there by a week or so, but they are usually at the receiving barracks. That is time spent waiting for a sufficient amount of recruits to arrive to form a company.
The British has the strongest navy in the world at the time of the French and Indian War. The Royal Navy allowed for the conquer of French Canada and French colonies in the West Indies and Caribbean.
Pope Gregory declared 1st time , Sunday as a Holiday.
They are not supposed to, however they do it all the time.
Because there are so many Navy units throughout the world, Zulu time, or GMT, is used so all Navy units are using the same time, regardless of where they are located. They still use local time of course, but for all official duties, Zulu time is preferred.

The probationary period in the Royal Navy typically lasts for six months. During this time, new recruits undergo training and evaluation to ensure they meet the necessary standards and requirements of service. Successful completion of the probationary period is essential for continuing in their roles within the Navy.

Recruits in BT are usually ordered to communicate with their families by mail; the Navy doesn't want families to be worried about their loved ones.
Under the current recruiting climate, it's unlikely. Only minor traffic violations are typically allowed, and though waivers are granted for anything, the current employment climate has swelled the ranks of recruits at a time when the current administration is proposing huge cuts in the Defense budget. Recently, a friend of mine witnessed an entrance exam in which 100 people applied and only 6 were selected. During such times the Navy and military in general tend to be highly selective in recruiting, because they can afford to be.
Year round, generally Monday through Thursday. Except for during the Christmas holiday period. The Navy will stop ship about mid December, and start shipping again after the New Year Standown period.
His father places him in a boarding school where he stays for a number of years without being allowed home even at holiday time
Because others around him were allowed home to be with family at holiday time. He however was forced to stay at boarding school.
That used to be an recruitment slogan for the US Navy. It was given to the Navy by Ken Mackay in boot camp toward the end of training during an interview. It was his answer to the question: "Why did you join the Navy?" He got high test scores and a commendation while in boot camp and the Navy was interested in his answer. The year was 1961. Until that time recruits were advised that the service was a good place to get experience so they could get a job. The "Voice" of that campaign was Harry Chase... his first gig in NYC.

To enlist in the navy, you don't necessarily need to know how to swim at the time of joining. However, you will be required to pass a swim test during basic training. The navy provides swimming lessons for recruits who are not proficient swimmers. It's recommended to practice swimming before joining to increase your chances of success in passing the swim test.
Any time in the month of December is a good time for a Holiday Party.
