  • In this British Army Married Quarter Tour video, I take you on a complete tour of the married quarter and explain what comes with the house when you take it over.
    I also explain what it would cost a month and what bills you would be expected to pay.
    If you have any questions please just leave them in the comments section and I always get back to them all.

    When we got married we moved into married quarters for six months. Nearly 3 years later we moved out.... 😛 partly because we loved the disposable income from the cheap accom charges. We were on the property ladder anyway and letting out our gaff but yeah, cheap as chips. The flipside of that is I knew guys who had been in 22 years plus who had never bought a place. My advice would be get somewhere when you're in, even if you never live in it and let it out, at least you're on the ladder.

      The “property ladder” is bulsht. Buy companies. Build PASSIVE income. You wont retire any differently than someone with nothing otherwise.

    spent about 15 years in married quarters in Germany, Reg was posted back to the UK, wife walked into the new 3 bed quarter and burst into tears, absolutely tiny my whole house would have fitted inside my German living room , one of my friends had to live out of boxes because his furniture would not fit,

    Great presentation. Tells you are treated like shit. Housed like a second class citizen. And conveys all this without ever saying a word. That takes some level of constraint. Must be the military training.
