Once you get to unit, it is at the discretion of your unit if you are able to live out inprivate accommodation. There is now the ability for unmarried couples to live in Army housing if they meet a certain criteria, I don't know what it is. I'm married and live my own house as do a lot of people I work with.

As mentioned above, it would depend on your unit and the forecast of events I guess.
I know a lot of colleagues that live off camp with partners. As long as you turn up for work on time etc, there is no reason why you cant live off site.
The mod housing policy has changed to allow single accompanied personnel to live in married quarters, as mentioned above if you meet certain criteria.
