    Makes a nice change from older pads. We vacated one years ago when the camp was closing. There were plans to pass them on as council houses, but they were considered unfit for habitation by the council and were condemned!

      Believe me they have not always been that good, the single soldier accommodation has improved massively since the introduction of Z type dwellings before that though, oh dear there was some serious squaller soldiers had to put up with.

    I visited my old 1960s Army Quarter recently. We lived in Aldershot during the mid 60s when my Dad was serving. I was shocked to find out that the MOD no longer wanted Quarters so it was decided to hand them over to the local councils to house immigrants!! I'm Disgusted by this, what the hell is happening!!?? I cannot believe what our Country has come too. A reduction in all the Armed Services, and now getting rid of Barracks and Quarters in order to accommodate illegal immigrants who have no right to be here!!!!

    Myself and my partner who is a fusiliers in training, will be passing out soon, he is a rejoiner, we will be getting married this later year, we were hoping that the millitary houses would change & be upgraded & I see they have! We have 3 boys, 8 9&11 yrs old and they need all the room they can get, its amazing how much the homes have changed! I'm even more excited to be within the garrison soon! To have a lovely home close to where he will be based!

My mate had them round to boot out his mrs as soon as he left SellyOak to a civvy hospital while still learning to use his prosthetic. As he was now medically discharged he was no longer entitled to a pad. I tried to buy one years ago when the m.o.d were selling them off in my town, and was told to sod off. Despite being a cash buyer, They became homes for asylum seekers in the end. Now the local house prices are close to zero, so there's logic Wee had some fun times years ago, but am just glad I now own a lovely house outright and owe nobody. Plus now I can paint my walls purple if I wish. :)
