I am not in Primary, heck, not in API yet. Just starting IFS ... again ... medical.
Anyway, I live in Milton, and I can say that indeed the weather here has been rough for the last couple of weeks. Often times, thunderstorms rolling in twice a day.
Whiting is about 10 miles from my house, and the weather patterns here are odd to say the least. My house can get an inch of rain in a couple of hours. I drive 2 miles into town and it's dry as a bone, not a single drop.
I can say I haven't seen the Whiting traffic I was seeing a month ago. Used to see a helo pass over every few minutes... not last couple of weeks.
Not sure if this has anything to do with the 6-9 month delay you mentioned.
Just FYI for any Coasties reading - don't panic. As soon as you finish IFS, you move onto API (unless we've reached our class quota, at which point you'll just have to wait for the next class - which is real possible for those starting IFS this week - 7 Coasties, look out!). As soon as you're done with API you move onto Primary, etc.
