At a recent community briefing a lot of wives expressed concern with regards to JHQ closing. They were told that a period of 10-15 years would elapse between the initial announcement to move, and locking the gate behind them. As there has still been no official announcement, I think it's safe to say most dependants jobs are safe for the time being.

Which is of course correct if the person giving the brief actually knew himself and wasn't just quoting the 'party line'. Just keep an eye out for radical improvements to facilities, accommodation and housing...... a sure sign that things are drawing down and getting handed back :o
