I just got back to Florida from 5 weeks of training in California. Being in the Coast Guard and telling people you’re going to California, they automatically assume it’s on the beach, where it is warm and beautiful. Not this training center, it is in a town called Petaluma, Northern California, between San Francisco and Santa Rosa, and far inland and up the mountains. The temperature in March was low 40’s and it rained almost every day. The training center is also on protected wildlife land, so you will see deer and turkeys daily. Somehow these animals know you cannot harm them, and they have no problem walking right up to you or making cars stop for them.
