British Army Lets Girlfriends Stay for the Night

(WINS) Mar 5, 2002 8:38 am
LONDON (Reuters) - The British
Army is allowing single soldiers to
bring their girlfriends back to barracks overnight.

"We want to be more flexible in the way people live
their lives," said General Sir Michael Walker, head of
the army, signaling the change of policy for Britain's
50,000 single soldiers.

"Visitors should become the norm rather than the
rarity," Walker told reporters. But he insisted: "We are
not setting up knocking shops."

He said the army, which has faced problems retaining
new recruits, needed to move with the times and
"listen to society."
