Conditions of Service

This part of the Serving Soldier web site is designed to help you understand the Conditions of Service which apply to you, as a soldier, wherever you are serving.

Bullet Point Introduction - This explains the Conditions of Service that will apply to you whilst serving in the Army.

Bullet Point Money Matters - Current rates of pay, allowances and charges for officers and soldiers, together with financial advice and information on pensions and the financial aspects of resettlement.

Bullet Point Leave - Leave is approved and recorded absence from duty. It is just the same as holiday in a civilian job. The Army, however, has many different types. Find out about it here to make sure you are not losing out!

Bullet Point Healthcare - As a Regular soldier or on FTRS, you are entitled to receive free medical and dental care to a standard at least as high as that in the NHS.

Bullet Point Accommodation - Because of the need to serve anywhere, the Army makes provision for the accommodation of its personnel, both single and married and for dependants.

Bullet Point Benefits, Concessions and Discount Schemes - Forces’ Discounts Brochure, Forces’ Railcard and Forces’ Coachcards

Bullet Point Resettlement - As a soldier you will receive resettlement advice and information to assist you to prepare for, and find, suitable civilian employment following your Service career.
