    Hi there,


    During training you'll not get to see your wife that often but you will get a period of leave and weekends off where you can go home.

    Once you've completed training you'll go to either 2 or 3 Para and can apply for Service Family Accommodation (housing) if you so wish, but generally most weekends are free unless on duty.

    After you've got a few years experience in 2 or 3 Para you can apply to go to 1 Para.

    Hope this helps
