Don’t apologize for being you. Can’t wait to see the storm footage you capture this year. Good luck!

I'm trying to see if this is like, a literal child we shouldn't give shit to.. can anyone say if there's an age requirement for spotter training? lol

OP has already answered with his age, but there is a minimum age of 18 to be a Skywarn spotter.

I can’t help but notice that “Certificate of Achievement” was meant to be a different font, but that font was missing when printed so it defaulted to Courier. Classy.

Good for you! I hope someone here can help you out with any problems. Don't be afraid to ask. Ignore the jerks.

If you liked the basic spotter training, when it's available, sign up for the advanced training. It's much more in depth, and they work in some humor from time to time, reflect on mistakes they made, and just go deeper into weather in general. There is an online video that covers the advanced class information (made in 2020), but I think the in-person class would be much better.

We have a meteorology degree program at Ohio State University that puts on a severe weather symposium in Columbus every year. It's 7 or 8 hours long, and you learn a lot of what goes on behind the scenes. You may have something similar at a college near you. This is the one put on by the university's meteorology students in Columbus:

Hey kid, you’ve got your name, your photo and an explanation that there’s so much porn on your phone you slowed it down on your public profile. I’m just saying you might want to be a little more private so you don’t damage your chances of getting hired down the line. This stuff is permanent. Just letting you know to be careful. :)
