Hi, yes but the cost is very competitive to the civilian market and you will save a lot of money because our food and accommodation charges are subsidised by the Government.

Thanks, how much does an officer pay for rent for a year?

It really depends on the quality of your accommodation, just like in the private rental sector, it varies. For the nicest accommodation for up to the rank of captain it would be £5.40 per day.
