A cooking story, or lack thereof
TLDR at the end. So I'm in the military. This month we have cadets from the academy that reported to my unit for training. For those of you who don't know, these cadets are the future leadership of the military. Future commanders, captains, and admirals. But as of now they are 19 year olds that have depended on their mommas up until now. Now on top of having the cadets at my unit, my unit only has one cook on duty due to others transferring out. So on the weekends we don't have a cook on duty and we have to find for ourselves. Which leads me to the topic of today's story. Last night I walked into the mess deck to make my dinner, one of the cadets was already in there eating a chicken sandwich. I made my dinner and sat at his table. I looked over and noticed the chicken on his sandwich was really undercooked. So I said "That chicken looks awful pink there. I'd cook that a bit longer." He responds "Yeah, I didn't feel like going through the hassle of turning on the oven and waiting for it to cook, so I just took it out of the freezer and put it on my sandwich." Words cannot describe how baffled I was when I heard that. So I said "You didn't cook that!? You just started eating it directly from the freezer!" Him "No don't worry, I let it thaw out first." As if that should make it better. Me "You're eating raw chicken!? Have you ever heard of salmonella?" Him "I thought that was just eggs?" Me "EGGS COME FROM CHICKENS!" Him "Oh, well it is quite tasty." Me "Boy, does your momma know you eat raw chicken? Why didn't you cook that?" Him "It was too much of a hassle to preheat the oven, then wait for it to cook in the oven." Me "We have a deep fryer! Drop it in there for like 3 minutes! Better yet, we have a daggum MICROWAVE! Nuke it for a minute at least!" This is the future leadership of our nation. In the next 15 to 20 years we'll have senior officers who think it's ok to eat raw chicken. We're doomed.
TLDR. I found a cadet, a future miliary leader, eating a chicken sandwich with a raw piece of chicken. Who didn't seem to notice the issue even after the issue was pointed out to him.
