CX reviewed the cost of basings in the beginning of this year. The conclusion was that the cost savings associated with basings are minim or for some basing areas cost are higher than the HKG base.
Considering all new hires will be icadets on cheap HKPA my guess is that no new base vacancies will be offered. Bases will slowly shrink due to attrition, retirements and HKG commands. When a base shrinks to critical size it will be closed .........
Hopefully I am wrong and September's basings bid has some vacancies, but I fear that won't happen.
