    During your training you will be in shared accommodation, typically a 4 - 12 person room with your own bed and storage, wardrobes etc. after all your training is complete and you get posted to your first unit you will most likely be in a single occupancy room, typically these will have an en-suite shower/toilet. Less modern camps will have single occupancy rooms with shared toilets/showers but these are fewer. After training depending on your personal circumstances you may be entitled to housing.
    With regards to pay, on the last working day of each month you will be paid directly into your bank account or accounts if you choose to split it across more than one. The pay you receive will have accommodation charges already deducted.
