Your space

If you're thinking that you'll get your own personal room and space at Basic then you're in for a big surprise, throughout basic training and indeed most of your future career you will be in shared accommodation with between 5 and 20 other aircraftsmen/women, your space will be made up of a 6 foot long bed, 2 wardrobes and a bedside cabinet.
The whole point of this simplicity is to allow you to adapt to a simplified and straight forward lifestyle with all your civilian and military uniform in a neat and tidy place and close at hand, also means you get used to working and living with a variety of different people with different backgrounds, for example I was one of only a few people on my course who was from London with a background in the cadet forces, other recruits were from all over the UK and Ireland with varieties in work and education such as college, uni, or straight out of secondary school so getting to know new people who I would be working and living with was beneficial to my completion of basic training and meant I had familiar faces to talk to when I went to my first base.
