Delay required

I'm with you Dick! The only times that I seem to get held is at .... WLM.
Category MED2, and still have to hold while a couple of FA18's do their thing.
"Approach, confirm you copy we are MED2?" No reply, and a 14 minute hold orbiting at 3000', IMC, 5nm east of WLM. And not just the once!
All this despite the rule book indicating that MED tfc has priority over Mil tfc.
One can only hope.
And got boxed in on the tarmac the other week, grounds requirement was -- wait for it-- "stand by". Had to shut down and get a push back. It seems only one RAAF type doing Clearance Delivery, SMC, TWR, and APP.
