Would it not be better simply to give them a low deposit or 100% mortgage scheme, as good as this scheme is it will mean they are paying both mortgage repayments and the loan back. Or even guarantee say 50 % of the deposit. I wonder if there are any time limits, in theory you could get a loan and be a civilian the following day.
Let's hope things have changed since my time, buying a house in the vicinity of the Station was a guarantee of a posting to the other side of the Country.
