Narrative:
Pns TRACON has a continuing problem of getting up-do-date WX and ATIS codes from area navy airports/ATC facilities. After reporting this problem to local FAA management for an extended prior of time without resolution, on jan/thu/03, I filed a report on the problem with FAA headquarters. I included with the report, documentation of 69 occurrences of area military installations not providing pns TRACON with updated WX and ATIS information as required by FAA order 7210.35 2-9-2 and 10-4-1, and FAA handbook 7110.65N 4-7-10. At XC55 today, I had several IFR inbounds to nap but no current WX. The WX sequence I had was from XA53 or over 2 hours old. This confusing problem with outdated and conflicting ATIS codes could easily result in an accident or incident.

Title: P31 CTLR EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION WITH AVAILABILITY OF CURRENT NAVY WX INFO FROM NEARBY MIL FACILITIES.
Narrative: PNS TRACON HAS A CONTINUING PROB OF GETTING UP-DO-DATE WX AND ATIS CODES FROM AREA NAVY ARPTS/ATC FACILITIES. AFTER RPTING THIS PROB TO LCL FAA MGMNT FOR AN EXTENDED PRIOR OF TIME WITHOUT RESOLUTION, ON JAN/THU/03, I FILED A RPT ON THE PROB WITH FAA HEADQUARTERS. I INCLUDED WITH THE RPT, DOCUMENTATION OF 69 OCCURRENCES OF AREA MIL INSTALLATIONS NOT PROVIDING PNS TRACON WITH UPDATED WX AND ATIS INFO AS REQUIRED BY FAA ORDER 7210.35 2-9-2 AND 10-4-1, AND FAA HANDBOOK 7110.65N 4-7-10. AT XC55 TODAY, I HAD SEVERAL IFR INBOUNDS TO NAP BUT NO CURRENT WX. THE WX SEQUENCE I HAD WAS FROM XA53 OR OVER 2 HRS OLD. THIS CONFUSING PROB WITH OUTDATED AND CONFLICTING ATIS CODES COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT.
