Good Morning and thanks for your question.
Yes, it is possible. In the Army, Service Families Accommodation (Married Quarters) used to only be available to married personnel. In recent years however, the Army has acknowledged the fact that many couple nowadays do not wish to be married. Therefore the army now offers surplus SFA to people in long term relationships where possible.
This is just another example of how the army is moving forward with the times and creating better opportunities for its people in a variety of different ways.
Once you've finished all of your training, the options available to you in terms of accommodation will be explained so that you know what's available for your location at that time.
If you have any more questions then feel free to ask, or get in contact with your local Army Careers Centre.
