Default Armed Forces Subaru owners

Just wondering how many fellow Armed Forces guys / gals own Subaru's? I seem to see a fair few whenever I go to any camp! Seems to be a common choice of car for the Army / RAF / RN / RM! Would be interested to know what you serve in, trade (if applicable) and what Subaru you own!

Ah, a ginger queer.

About to start 33 on 9th September. I fully intended to leave but the offer was just too good, 5 mile commute but never to deploy again.

Well he won't spend any money out there and with his allowances he'll sure have a good chunk of money saved - must admit the allowances package is much better than last time I was out there and I do think about going back out so I can save for a PPG box

I don't know, with this year's 1% pay rise that means we're only taking about a 2% pay cut in real terms

Op allowances will finish at the end of 2015 no doubt

About time they cut back on our perks now they've stopped wasting money (almost said that with a straight face)

They're closing the camp i'm on now, so what do they do oh yeah spend 1.5million putting new doors in all the buildings ok I understand budgets need to be spent but when the street lights don't work and there's no heating for the lads in the blocks seems they're spending it in the wrong areas......... again

Come Sep 2014 only a few will get OA. Afghan will then be de-escalated and the OA will disappear completely.

We will be scummy squaddies again.
