My bf is starting his training very soon, what’s our options for housing or do we need to be married first? Thank you

Whilst in training your bf will need to live in. When he goes to his first unit, if you are not married he could apply for a surplus quarter (a house/flat) (SFA - Service Families Accomodation). If you are married you would be 'entitled' to a house. Certain areas in the country are trialing something called the Future Army Model (FAM) which changes entitlement (making it easier for those who are not married) - but he will be told about this in more detail if he goes to an area that is trialing FAM.
