"These “weather commandos” need to attend eight schools from across the country to earn their gray beret, and spend 61 weeks in training. This involves everything from learning how to forecast the weather and to take the observations to learning small unit tactics to handling both water survival and underwater egress training. These personnel even attend the Airborne School at Fort Benning."

That's why military meteorologists are the best and most consistent in their prognostications!!! I don't knw about today, but in 1970, as a part of me Quartermaster "A" School coursework, I was trained in meteorology, as well. It was certainly not as intensive as what these soldiers go through today, but I am very glad for that tat training, much of which I can still recall when I observe the weather today.

SGT (Verify To See) when nations go to war data, such as weather info, is restricted. Today's military is much more dependent upon the weather so these Airmen are trained to operate i n hostile environments to collect the needed information so that accurate forecasts can be made. Usually a civillian forecaster works in the same area for most of their career. This allows them to learn the local weather phenomena that the computers miss. These Airmen are trained to study worldwide weather phenomenon instead of just one area.
The app on you phone works because of the phenomenal amount of information it can access. Take away that info, as would happen in a hostile environment, and you have a very poor forecast.
Now I realize you are just a troll but your complete ignorance on this topic, unwillingness to do any research to learn more about the topic and your apparent need to post on a public forum to show your ignorance is stunning.
