Oh, and I suppose I must have volunteered to be sent 715 miles frommy family, friends, life etc. The costs of having single accomodation might well be cheap but I have existed in a room with 1 door, one window, one power point, no tv point, no phone point, leaky roof, cockroaches, rats, no furniture other than a broken bed, and a 35 miles per day commute each way to work, having to be at work at 05.30.
I have also stayed in a barrack block at the exact point parallel to lift off for many Tornado Aircraft. Loud??? try sleeping off night shift when all you can hear is the sound of overtime.
But I volunteered..................?
The point is it might be cheap, it is because it is cr4p substandard hell living there.
Ever slept six men in a four man room?
Ever slept 32 in a 16?
Cheap, no privacy, lots of stress. The only good bits were giving the lads marks out of ten for the goping trolls they had bought back from the bop
