Narrative:

There are skydiving operations at dillingham aaf daily. It is shown on the sectional charts, and local airports directory. There is a NOTAM stating that operations are conducted daily. Yet, military C130 and other aircraft continue to fly through the established drop zones without establishing radio communications with the unicom or local traffic. These are training flts that happen about once per month. It appears that many (but not all) pilots are not being briefed about the civilian traffic and skydiving operations. This is very hazardous, as sometimes we cannot see the traffic and skydivers are jumping over the traffic. We contacted the military in the area and the problem is fixed for a short time before resuming.
