LJ,

I don't think there is an answer which will be popular. All 3 units have large estates which cost a fortune to run. Halton for example will be further emptied out with the move of SMTW to Worthy Down. The Old Workshops will be almost empty.
There are already at least 10 barrack blocks which are closed up and they are the ones by Maitland. Up at RTS it is very quiet after a few years ago when almost 4000 went through in one year.

My only suggestion is that there should be a Joint officer cadet training establishment. Then once 'basic' is over they then proceed to their professional training units. There is already joint training units at trade level and this will become the norm in the future.
