I’ll be the [BLEEP], like I normally am here and in the real life.  I agree, it’s cool.  But when I watch the video and see that 95% pass and they’re talking it up, it really comes across as “these guys aren’t worth a [BLEEP] except the few that went to school for culinary purposes and the others…we’ll… we’ll try to give them a job.” If you can’t read a recipe card….  Don’t get me wrong.  They are needed. But they talk it up as Meal Team Six.  One guy refers to his other cookmates as a “battle buddy”.  Yeah, I get it.  But when in OCS my brother was asked to tell the instructor the difference between “cover and concealment” my brothers reply was “cover is your battle buddy and concealment is looking like em”. He was joking of course.  Their duty is needed. I appreciate what they do. I’m sure the soldiers do as well.  But, aside from those that scored  well on that test “as fad” or whatever is called that want to cook, the rest are kinda stupid.  Again, I appreciate the effort.  But if you take that test and are placed in that role, you’re not the best of the best, to say the least.  Those that make it, good on them.  I feel they really need that experience and discipline to figure things out.  [BLEEP] Jags at it again, I suppose. I’m not a good person.  Love the military though.  Have family members in it.
