RAFC Cranwell to go

[icklecathy]

I read in the Independant and the Express, that the suggestion was that Sandhurst is too expensive for the army to upkeep. The RAF and RN were asked to look into the possibility of moving their officer training both to Sandhurst and therefore split the cost of Sandhursts upkeep between the three forces.

The last I read was the both the RAF and RN had totally refused the idea saying that the facilities on offer at Sandhurst don't match their requirements, and training officers there would be detrimental to RAF and RN operations.

If they want to get rid of Sanshurst because it needs updating which would be too expensvie, why not just move the Army Officer training somwhere else instead of the RAF and RN ?

Hi All,

The only thing I have read is that the armed forces training establishments are under review and the reviews will not be concluded until later this year with announcements to be made after that.

I think you are spot on TJD, newspaper rumour mongering again. Something will give undoubtedly but where, when and who is anybodies guess.
