Corporal Clott, carping on about quarters is a red herring. Living in quarters, saving for a retirement home, letting rent drain your salary and watching house price on for us stupid.
How many now reach retirement without their own home?
Free medical and dental is also questionable as an advantage. Yes, probably easier access to a doctor and free prescription and annual check up. Is a civvie pilot's medical tax deductible? Free dental? An NHS dentist charges less than £20 for an annual check and clean. An eyesight test is also cheap and who really wants mil spec glasses from SpecSavers?
