In the mid-80's I got one night off about halfway through basic because they had a perents day and you were allowed to spend the night with them, still in uniform though. We weren't allowed civilian clothes until a few weeks into AIT (your specialty schooling, for those who don't know).
There's no break between the two anymore. They got rid of that in 2004. As for the Air Force: Reserve, Guard, and Active duty have the same training and deployment cycles.
