Makes a nice change from older pads. We vacated one years ago when the camp was closing. There were plans to pass them on as council houses, but they were considered unfit for habitation by the council and were condemned!

[@dantuicakau214]

It's great to see that the size of a military quarter in the UK has improved. Hope it stays that way. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@North305]

finally, a house for the lads to sesh

[@babatundeswana9361]

I'm very impressed with the British army family service accommodation. I didn't expect it too be so big and modern!

[@tvmediathebiggestweaponuse1671]

Believe me they have not always been that good, the single soldier accommodation has improved massively since the introduction of Z type dwellings before that though, oh dear there was some serious squaller soldiers had to put up with.

[@tomball5689]

"I'm 6'2" he grew when he at he's greens and went up stairs and he is "6'3" 🤣🤣 good video tho

[@CombatReadyHQ]

[@pfdrtom]

Thank you and God bless our cousins across the water for standing by us in Afghanistan. Y'all didn't have to it but y'all did. With much respect from Texas.

[@agmsmith4079]

Congrats on the new house!!! For the UK, that place is huge!!! Enjoy it!

[@bob..956]

Nice, looks very homely and congrats on the baby girl :)

[@markmetters6506]

Great to see the Army has improved living standards for married personnel.

[@hmtres27]

Very impressed you grew an inch from downstairs to upstairs!! Hope my man does too when we move to Tidworth in June.

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Please can you do a video of tidworth as it holds so many memories for me. Cheeky I know..

[@kebab6597]

Nice to see they are making the married pads bigger we had a little house in Cavalry Cresent very handy for the mess back gate not far to stagger home

[@glenglen9855]

Trust me not all army houses are like this. So as good as it looks not many houses are like this fact!!!!!

[@abbiearmstrong5456]

Myself and my partner who is a fusiliers in training, will be passing out soon, he is a rejoiner, we will be getting married this later year, we were hoping that the millitary houses would change & be upgraded & I see they have! We have 3 boys, 8 9&11 yrs old and they need all the room they can get, its amazing how much the homes have changed! I'm even more excited to be within the garrison soon! To have a lovely home close to where he will be based!

[@Glen38]

Abbie did you get a house

[@JosephByrne]

Not sure if you are still there but that is a proper nice gaff. I'd be proud.

[@georgerobert4709]

Long overdue. Civvies would kill for that. Vast improvement since my day. Although Germany Quarters were always massive,

[@gavinjoyce5278]

Forget married quarters let’s promote soldiers buying their own properties and use the Australian army’s policy where if you move house they move a army family in and your bills get covered like wise on there property

[@englishmadcow7461]

I promise you'll appreciate all storage as kids grow!

[@Dave-cw9ie]

Definitely better than the pads in Aldershot..

[@ranger8575]

Massive improvement on military housing

[@oliam123]

Perhaps they could do something for the lads in the block🤔 With the state of some of them

[@CombatReadyHQ]

They have built new blocks for the lads as well

[@GreysUniverse]

Congrats on the baby mate. RMon RE

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Thank you

Show people round the Single soldiers accommodation, with the crumbling walls and no heating or hot water for weeks on end. Sharing showers and people just walking into their rooms whenever they want.

[@paulritchie5868]

Stanley fort in 81/3..no air con and rats in the roof,nice..

[@mattthetaffy6702]

Gotta keep our service men happy and at least provide them with a good quality home to raise there family in, Its the least the government and MOD can do. I'm glad your liveing good mate, Wish it was the case for everyone.

This is my house there are many like it but this one is mine.

[@2NatoStandard]

Back in my day, 3 colours for the walls, Beige, Sage or Diarrhea. Plus you had to use their furniture. Good skills there, hope your happy.

[@kimberleyheadland4639]

Me too I remember three colours only could believe it

[@kimberleyheadland4639]

I remember that venture well it was the ugliest furniture ever and our carpets wasn’t wall to wall was like a little mat in each room spent most of the time in Germany those quarters was beautiful the ones in England not so nice can you remember the Army Match out they was a nightmare ……….Kimberley 🇬🇧

[@2NatoStandard]

@@kimberleyheadland4639 Yes march out was silly and any bleedin nail or bit of blutack uncured a charge. My mate had them round to boot out his mrs as soon as he left SellyOak to a civvy hospital while still learning to use his prosthetic. As he was now medically discharged he was no longer entitled to a pad. I tried to buy one years ago when the m.o.d were selling them off in my town, and was told to sod off. Despite being a cash buyer, They became homes for asylum seekers in the end. Now the local house prices are close to zero, so there's logic Wee had some fun times years ago, but am just glad I now own a lovely house outright and owe nobody. Plus now I can paint my walls purple if I wish. :)

[@rubberuke]

"its absolutely massive" Is this in the buckingham palace or what? why is it so small? I am in the US Army and we get over twice as much space for a 3 bedroom.

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Water is in with council tax, energy is different for everyone anything from about 50-100 pound a month

[@azgardian32odinson]

Spoke with the army careers today who mentioned about the quarters but he referred them to 'couple quarters' have they changed the name? Or are the houses different?.

[@lilyflowersinthewind]

You only are entitled to a house if you have a family if you are single you live on the barracks

[@onedayatatime2390]

wish all the new build’s in Tidworth was that big 🤣

[@celticdollface]

He keeps calling this small house massive, I can't imagine what size house he's used to , to think this is massive, but it must be verrrry tiny

[@seltaeb9691]

It's massive! This ain't America.

[@celticdollface]

@@seltaeb9691 of course it's not massive.I live in England and have lived in several different Married Quarters myself, the houses are very small as we can see in this video... definitely not massive as he keeps describing it

[@ezethapa1755]

Meanwhile in Aldershot we still don't have fiber optic wifi so we have to pay 2x money for slow ass wifi

[@CombatReadyHQ]

That needs changing

[@icecreamkid5294]

And can't we choose the house b4 we shift there?

[@seankelly6336]

Very similar to the 1920/30s size of homes

[@seankelly6336]

Perhaps a little longer

[@TSp-st4si]

Thank for uploading this. I’ve got a question I’m planning on joining the army, as I’m married and yet don’t have kids would I be able to get a married quarters house? If so my mother has health problems would I be able to move her in?

[@danidavis9261]

T. Sp no.
