    I have a family member who's a medical officer in the army (so making about 60-70k), and he said that, with how low his monthly outgoings are, he'd have to be making in excess of six figures to be in the same financial situation as a civilian in a city like London.

    The only thing I couldn't deal with is the awful beds/mattresses that the rooms come with... and sometimes the other furniture is really bulky too 🥲. But im not sure if you're allowed to put your own bed frame or anything like that because presumably they'd then have to store their furniture elsewhere and I don't know that they'd do that ? .

    Wow the singlies accom has changed since the 90s. I had a posting in tidworth I was paying 30p a day as it was classed as substandard. 4 man rooms that had 2 in. Ablutions that were disgusting and didn’t matter how much cleaning you did, showers that gave lukewarm water and 1 washer drier between around 20-25 lads. It was first class accommodation back in ww1 when it was built. Food was great to at £3 a day.

    • @CombatReadyHQ

    I am going in to the RAF (yes I know!) and I believe the accommodation regs are the same. I have done some research but struggling to find anything concrete. I have a daughter who I would be having every weekend when I am in, however I would be otherwise unaccompanied. Do you know if I can apply for surplus SFA so I have somewhere to have my daughter or would I have to live in the block? It's not a deal breaker but would definitely be more comfortable!
