Given the appalling track record of the present government towards the armed forces and the emasculation they have already made happen why would they stop half way and only take the forces accommodation away?
May as well go the whole hog and send all the regular armed forces home and make them all reservists. Need a change in the law that requires a minimum of three months attending camp per annum, employers and employees to cooperate, by law. Individuals may serve an additional three months if they wish but no unemployment pay during these periods of camp. When operations are required then mobilisation will take place.
In the meantime those attending camp will service and maintain the buildings and equipment and pilots will require to attend refresher training of one week every three months. Courses of training requiring more than three months will be done in modules etc. etc. etc. There is no limit to what the bean counters could dream up and even though such a plan would be wholly unacceptable from a services point of view, when was that ever considered? The bean counters win every time.
