surely 1 quarter being paid for has got to be making more money than one which isn't
This was the line I tried with DHE when I wanted a married quarter 3 months before our wedding as both my wife (to be) and I are serving we were occupying 2 rooms in the mess. The mess at the time was full and visitors were enjoying local hotels on a F95.
The offer to vacate 2 rooms to allow the mess a small bit of freedom and start paying for one of the many empty married quarters seemed like a no-brainer but alas we hit the very helpful, "you aren't entitled until 7 days before the wedding" line from DHE. Not very joined up thinking...
