military accommodation

Post by Gary_amsterdam »

A while ago I saw some pics of military accommodation on this forum, I can't remember where exactly and the magic search button has let me down :(.

Can anyone help as my mom and dad are interested to see in what kind of place i will be staying.

thanks!

Gary

Is this officers accomodation or is it all the same? Looks quite good, even the one during basic. Oh sticky are you a girl or is this not your room?!

Stix, that has to be a joke, is that really what Royal get's to live in!

Gary, are you joining the RM or the army, if it's the army then prepare for a shock when you go to catterick. The beds are like gym mats with woven straw for sheets, the pillows are like rubber and the less said about the showers the better. The bar's nice though :drinking:

Ho-hum...I look forward to getting to a unit then!! I'm sure I was told on PRMC that San Carlos block was for the Cpls when they'd finished refitting one of the other blocks so that Hunter Company could move out of it!! And that's the same sort of standard as the 6-man rooms shown above. Either that's my first lesson in not taking the training team too seriously all the time, or they will eventually replace all the accomodation at CTC/all other RM/RN bases??

I did IOT at our RMA, and the first 5 months were also in 10 man rooms. After that we did get our own room, but that was a lot smaller than the one above! About 10 by 12 ft and a communal shower and toilet. You could just fit a bed and a desk in there. In our Armed forces its actually not allowed to put service personell in rooms with more than 4 men, but the RMA is an exception as they say its better for the team-building process. But you get used to it and I enjoyed it for the most part.
