Screwed out of leave because of an inspection. Yup, you had the normal Navy experience. 🤣

Wow. That might completely change my perspective on the character... if only I could stomach re-watching the prequels.

I know many of us plan to have Thanksgiving at a relative's/neighbor's house. What is the best make-ahead side dish you can recommend? I'm looking for a combination of easy transport and minimal need for reheating (unless you have some sort of reheat cheat code).

Amplifying info: I'd also like to think of something that is usually overlooked at Thanksgiving. The menu at my friend's includes the usuals of stuffing, dressing, brusselsprouts, and copious amounts of pie and potatoes.

P.S. Thanks - Love you guys. Combined with Alton Brown, and Serious Eats, you guys are the triumvirate that rules my kitchen.

P.P.S. You vegetarian lasagna is my fiance's weakness. Major brownie points scored with that. Thank you!!!!

No, my dude. The Navy doesn't say MOS. Aside from a brief period where we stopped using rates to address each other (what a dumb debacle that was), rate is the combination of both job skills and rank for enlisted. (for whatever reason, only Officers have "rank".) Neither have MOS. Furthermore, Enlisted sailors have Navy Enlisted Classification codes. (NECs because why would we have an acronym that actually fits, like NECC, when we can use three letters instead.) Officer have NOBCs and AQDs.

But I go back to chose your rate, chose your fate. You know it's true because it rhymes.

Nobody says choose you MOS, find your success... Or choose your MOS, choose your mess.
