I came here for the olds guys comments on how they lived in a 12x12 15 men up with a hexi burner for heating & had to shovel recce every time for a crap , showered with a watering can & their SLR & loved every second of it .. I was dissapointed . I am classed as one of them having joined in the late 1900s (86) .. good to see almost a quarter way thro the following Century living standards have improved. Respect to you.

@barryalexander2909 2 жыл бұрын

@Hamz, most main garrisons now have this modern type of accommodation, but there are still older barracks around. Some London District barracks always had a reputation for being substandard. But the lower grade accommodation is usually cheap as chips which means more money in your pocket each month. If u do join, save your money and get on the property ladder ASAP. It's tempting to spend all that disposable income on clothes, gadgets and going out. Learn about and investing and get into a saving habit.

@@JakesJourneyMate Wow that's changed since my day. Used to have to hump unwanted furniture to the QMs, usually to be told to take it back to the block. When I first joined most guys had issue beds and mattresses and shared rooms were common. Most of us were block orphans and stayed on camp at weekends. I bought my own place when I was a Cpl, and then rented it out when I went to Cyprus on promotion to Sgt. Do soldiers still get married to escape the block and get a married quarter?
