I think he has done his time which is 22/24 years. You have to leave unless they particularly need your trade. Army you can apply to stay extra years but again only if they are undermanned in that area.Forgive me if I’m wrong but he’s choosing to leave the forces, therefore making them intentionally homeless. The council refuse to house people if they leave private lets so I’m pretty sure the same applies. Plus large housing stock up here is non existent
The Armed Forces covenant means veterans are given priority to be housed. More than likely they will stay put in their quarter until the MOD evict them which then means they have to be rehoused by the council. Again though like you say with lack of housing and the size of the house they need it will be a struggle.
They must be mad bringing a baby into the uncertainty. I think they know they get put to the top of the list and so think all will be rosy.
He will be wetting his pants now they have hit 3k. Dreams of money and fame like the Radfords. She will be in Guicci and hideous designer coats soon enough
