So you are like a married couple on the brink of divorce - still having to share the house, but not liking each other. You will have to put up with his prescence - but you dont have to interact more than pleasantries. Its only for a short time - remember that. Squadron? Are you in the air force or something? Keep an eye open for dead mens shoes - if someone leaves, you could put in for their old room maybe - or if very clever and manipulative, if the solitary guy likes your guy - encourage him to invite him for the company and because they will get on so well together. Bear in mind, a good reference from you would be more encouraging than a negative one.
Next time you make rice cakes and are handing them out, just say I know you wont want one because you dont like the recipie and move along. Maybe he will learn a little tact.
Me, I was in a similar situation half way across the bay of biscay. I definitely considered pushing him over the railings. Man overboard at night, alone on watch - who would know? But I didnt. At least you can open the door and walk down the road, talk to and meet up with other people.
