Army HIVE Christmas and New Year Closures

The majority of Army HIVEs will be closed after duties on Fri 19 Dec 25 and will reopen on Mon 5 Jan 26. There may be localised variations to these dates for individual HIVEs.

Army HIVE HQ is also closed during the festive fortnight, so any enquiries submitted via the ‘If you need further information’ MS Forms function on our UK, Cyprus or Overseas blogs will be answered when we return in the New Year.

We will periodically cover private messages on our Army HIVE Facebook platform (and X/Instagram where possible) whilst we are closed. However, this will not be 24/7 and should not be relied upon for anything that requires an urgent response.

To support our customers with more immediate requirements however, the Army HIVE HQ email will provide a comprehensive out of office autoreply, detailing points of contact that are either 24/7, emergency providers, or open over the festive leave fortnight. To receive this autoreply, please email:
RC-Pers-HIVEComms-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk

Individual HIVEs will also provide localised contact details for Christmas and New Year cover wherever possible in their automated replies. Therefore, if you email your closest HIVE, which you can find on HIVE’s page on the Army website, their autoreply may be of additional assistance.

Army HIVE wishes all of its Service community customers, and our internal and external stakeholders, a very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to continuing our support and engagement in 2026.

BRUNEI: Use of Online Social Media

USE OF ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA

1. All SP and family members are encouraged to use all appropriate security settings whilst using social media platforms of any kind. If people feel the need to post images or videos on social media platforms either open or closed, they are strongly encouraged to scrutinise the content for anything that could bring the Army or specifically BFB in to disrepute, either with audiences in the UK (professional or otherwise) or with local audiences.

2. Anyone found posting content that brings either BFB or the Army in to disrepute may have disciplinary or administrative action brought against them.

3. Please seek advice from your chains of command if you wish to seek advice on how best to protect yourself and your families online.
