Also something to think about:
Surely the Ministry of Defence has contracts with energy and service providers - set contracts with set prices. I doubt very much they are paying domestic retail rates for electricity! And as for 'cleaning etc' - I run a cleaning contractor business and we charge pre-agreed amounts - as does everyone in the industry; so a client couldn't save money by 'not having us in for a few weeks'.
I could be wrong, but I really can't see how, when everything is contracted, they would save money on these things. Even if they did, then the amounts saved would be very small in terms of the defence budgets. Places would still have to be lit and heated for security and building maintenance purposes anyway.
Its a BS excuse. Whatever the reality its a load of crap about saving money - it simply won't save enough to matter.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23992770 100% agreed. There is definitely some other reason for this; the 'cost-saving' measure doesn't hold water. Here's a snippet from the letter: "Stand-Down. In recognition of the extraordinary demands that have been placed on military personnel during the last 12 months... the period 17 - 21 December is to be designated as a Stand-Down, an authorised absence from duty." LOOK AT THOSE DATES!!!!! THIS IS A COVER FOR THE MILITARY PTB TO GO UNDERGROUND WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING THEIR ABSENCE. "THE CHOSEN" AMONG THE MILITARY RANK AND FILE WILL BE ACCOMPANYING THEM.
