    Hi Charlie,


    You'll have a couple of options that's really up to you.


    I have 5 kids myself and i travel around the world with them, utilizing the heavily subsidized Service family accommodation. I'm currently paying £270 a month on a 4 bed house! Incredible i know.

    My wife and children love embracing new and exciting locations, chances to explore different areas and discover new friends along the way.


    If you or your partner have no desire to travel together then we each get 38 leave days a year, additionally you'll likely find that most weekends you'll get off to travel home anyway.
