Question
hello my husbond is rejoing the army he has only been out 2 years hes going into rlc hes at deepcut at the moment so when will we be able to live on base together?

Answer
Roxanne,
Your husband made a wise choice joining the RLC after leaving Regular Service.  It's a good way to put his training and experience to use and ensure a good steady paycheck during these difficult times.

I assume he's probably in training at The School of Logistics?  The training environment at Deepcut has often been associated with low morale because of poor accommodations, limited recreational facilities, and lack of privacy during dormitory life.  He'll definitely be ready to rejoin you.  Since you didn't say how long he's been there already it's impossible for me to tell you when he'll finish training there.  There are over a dozen different trade specialties within the RLC that train at Deepcut and they graduate at different intervals.  But when he graduates you'll be able to join him and live on base together.
Best wishes,
   Colonel H
