Mission Idea: Cooking. You interested?
Our battalion decided to do a cooking module in order to prepare for our Battalion Camporal Competition and to help learn those Important schools of both cooking and hospitality. We had a GREAT time. I thought I’d share what we did. We culminated in a family dinner night cooked and served by the guys.
