    For £40 that's a palace. Nice work Sam 👊🏾

    SLAM blocks...'single living accomodation modernisation'......prefabricated off-site like porta-cabins and then stuck together and a brick skin built around the whole.
    If you have ever lived in barrack rooms, 4 man rooms or even old school single rooms you'll know these new ones are pretty awesome by comparison...assuming the toilet works.
    There are communal kitchens and laundry as well....which you all pay for when some numpty smashes them up.
    Think they started to come in around 2007 so some maybe getting a bit battered by now but still light-years ahead of the old ones.....your own loo and shower? Gotta be a winner.

    Aussie Army experience for me was initially the crappy 4 man cubicles, no aircon and we were in Townsville (feckin hot).
    Then one man rooms as we finished advanced Inf training & once they became available. It was the 80's and they were full of asbestos, no toilets or showers in them, at the end of the block.
    By the mid 1990's the one man rooms had no asbestos, a small dunny/shower arrangement and a bit of room to put a comfy chair & telly.
    In the modern era I hear the new rooms are similar to yours shown (I got out in 2002 so can't say for myself!).

    I was told I have been put "on hold", as there are lots of Applications being reviewed and I would definitely be contacted.
    It's been over 2 Months and I would like to know the probability of being invited over to the UK for the Initial Assessment and please Sir, do you have any idea when I would most likely be called upon.
