Is it hard to get a mortgage in the forces?

I have been in the Army for 7 years and have lived at a number of different addresses as you can appreciate. I always use my army address for all my bills as I live far away from my parents and need my mail. On my credit file I have 10 linked addresses! Some of them are different and some are repeats. This is from moving all over the shop, I recently moved again in December 2009. Is this going to make it harder to get a mortgage? Am i better off changing back to my parents address and leaving it be? I am not planning on applying for a mortgage for about 3 years anyway, but if i add my parents address to my credit file as my permenant address I cant prove that I live there as I do not have any bills going there. Can someone advise please?
