The Brits have done it for years, look after the families and the soldiers will concentrate on the job. We have young single individuals try to find accommodation in areas where they cannot afford and thus can't afford some of the things the rest of us take for granted. While pay restoration to pre 2010 levels might be a nice concept to some the actual cost of rent etc is now well beyond the means of most junior enlisted people and continues to rise.
I'm not saying that SLI go back to living in barracks but that there should be self contained accommodation built on army lands in proximity to DF bases and provided at low cost to those on the lowest rates of pay.
