you could always give them a ring...my hubs will answer any and all questions lol. Be prepared to mingle really well with the army thats just taken over stafford. Its great honest lol. Worst case scenario your not home for 10 months of the year..they are a bit busy at the moment. It can be good for a laugh..lots of beer etc, but like any posting its what you make it.
But yes...wing before family lol
Any info on MoD Housing as I've heard they have allocated the lot to the incoming Ghurka Reg?
Any info would be great.
Ask for the 'new' builds on Ellington Avenue if you want a modern (less than 20 years old) quarter with a garage attached. You will pay top whack for them though. Or be stingy like I was and get one of the older MQs, they're ok and you only pay Grade 4 rates...bargain!
Or even better, just buy your own house like I did, best thing I ever did![/QUOTE]
Thats exactly what I'm thinking now. I've been told I'm housed at Cosford and the houses are tiny because we only have one child.
Any places to buy a house that you would recommend? i.e Cannock, Rugeley, Hednesford etc etc.
Cheers Normski.
I'd just buy in Stafford mate. Quite a few lads from the Wing live in the town. I like it, it's a nice place. Not too big, but big enough with all the shops your missus could want, plus Birmingham, Manchester & Liverpool all with easy reach.
Just avoid a few areas of town like Highfields and Western Downs, they're the least desirable areas of Stafford.
Baswich, Wildwood and Parkside are nice. All depends on how much money you got mate. You'll be ok with all that lovely LOA saved up from your IDO tour. DT_Xtremez_15:
Whoever told you there were no quarters is talking monkeys mate. Yes the ghurkas have moved in, but there are still lots of empty quarters available. The main probs is the shortage of 3 beds...however there are a few lurking about..been empty for a few years..and no sign of any work being done on them..so they havent been allocated yet. As you are coming from overseas then you get priority over the ghurkas etc which are only, I know that sounds naff but only doing a uk move if that makes sense.
Being housed at cosford is a farce..should take you about half hour 40 mins to get in and out to work..which on an evening..you really really dont want to do. Your best bet is get back on the phone to dhe..or give the wing a ring to see if they can do anything for you housing wise. They do look after their own and will do their best for you.
green green and more green...oh and a bit more green...maybe even some funky cream coloured stuff....leave a bag packed lol cos your gonna use it lol..see you in september in the bar wooohooo
Yes it is open on a thursday afternoon, and said barman will be attending
