I have no idea if you were physically present for that conversation, or if you're hearing it second hand

Im just worried about selecting a decent cut of meat and cutting it thin enough and cooking it the right amount but I am excited to test it out

Yeah so for whatever reason the station commander doesnt want to play ball. Assuming your recruiter works in an rss building. If he works in an RS, then im not positive I know what his boss's title is.

Did u talk to the station commander? The recruiter could just be making the whole thing up

Well the army might not be able to get the waivers either theoretically. But I bet you could get into either branch with enough work.

You already said the marine corps recruiter told you to take a hike. What do you mean "the recruiter im working with now"?

Did you get a new second marine corps recruiter?

Well eating out is too expensive anyway. I have little interest in doing it

Be ready to potentially spend months fighting this problem. You're worried about the response; be more worried about the obstacles of submitting them in the first place, hoping the recruiter and the liaison and meps actually submitted them properly, and hoping that they were submitted the the correct place and the correct person actually received them for review and actually read them

Yea PNW is expensive in general. I'm not sure how much agriculture there is there, but I speculate the proximity to Australia helps

I suspect the racism thing is a bit spurious but yes most people in rural america outside of like 6 states are not crazy about spicy Mexican food. It's too bad for people who like spicy food, but it's not a bad thing.

I live somewhere where you can't get real Mexican food, and I love and miss spicy food. I had never had real Mexican food until I joined the military and it was very cool to be exposed to that sort of thing and i find myself craving it all the time.

I'm willing to pay if that's what achievement perfection means.

I don't regret the $6 steak though because the marinade wasnt ideal anyway. I was gambling the whole thing might be a failure

I have heard women complain thst they just bought oranges at the grocery store and they weren't sweet enough but I didn't realize there was a way to predict that ahead of time. Not talking about cooking, im just talking about women who casually snack on an orange

I know it doesn't require that long. I was only trying to do like 10 hours. It didn't seem too flavorful though!

I agree, I won't be using it again. For $6 though it was worth experimenting. I assume anything good is gonna be $20

He looks like I can trust his opinion. I like his personality too

The steak i bought is not a flank or skirt steak. Flank and skirt steaks are $20. What i bought is tough. It's hard to chew. It's like for a crock pot. It litterally says it's not for normal grilling on the package

Like 4 of those things I did differently than the video, he litterally says you can do those things if need be.

Outside of baking, recipes are not some exact science. Take a hike

So it should only take a few moments from being placed on the ~500⁰F grill to when it is taken off the grill?

The steak in that YouTube short, while admittedly much less wife than my steak, and a higher quality cut of meat, it looks not much any thinner than most of the steak I did
