Hey all, am posted to Brize in June. Have heard horror stories about quarters and have also been told by HIC that i'm 7th on list for a 3 bed and they have no quarters available!

Anyone know 'good' areas and what schools are like? Am looking at St John's, Brize Norton and St Peter's. Gateway seems to look ok but have heard bad things about Edith and Carterton. Any posts aprreciated, ta girlies.

Are you SNCO or below??

There are 21, 3 bed detatched houses (Grade 3) in a village 10 miles from Brize. They are real houses built from bricks as opposed to the Pre-Fabs at Carterton/Brize) They dont seem to ever tell anyone about them.

Good local schools too.

On a brighter note re the houses at Carterton, the ones I have been in are alot nicer once inside. They do look dire from the outside though.

If you are SNCO or below you would be entitled to apply for one of the village houses. Is there anyway we can chat/message in private as I dont want to give too much info here online.

Hiya - must be a way to chat privately but been so long since i've used this! I've just had to change my username and password as it wouldn't recognise my email so am now JZ80! I'll try clicking contact poster and private message you or give you my email. We are junior ranks btw. Thanks for info.

Hey, tried to contact you but your settings must block another mumsnetter contacting you, i'll check my settings as you should be able to click on contact poster for me.

JZ80 · 12/04/2010 08:38

Right! No way of doing this without paying a fiver so email me at [email protected] if you like. Can fill eachother in on Saints/Brize. Ta!

I have emailed you JZ80.

Please ask away if I can be of any more help.

Not sure when we are being chopped off line but potentially the end of this week mind.
