  • 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.

    This video was really helpful in getting a better understanding of married quarters and I was pleasently surprised by the song choice throughout the video, really enjoyed this, thank you!
