I eat the latter once or twice a month, but mostly chicken. And over the last ten years I've gotten away from the T-bones and ribeyes I preferred to boneless New Yorks or, preferably, a lean sirloin. Little bit tougher, and an NY does require cutting away some gristle, but treated right both are just as tender, though not so juicy, as a good Porterhouse or T-bone.
Best wishes for his deployment and your sanity.
He doesn't usually tell us where he's going, for OpSec reasons. I don't know what he's going to do with the dog, it can't stay here. Last deployment he was issued armor and my wife found out and freaked out. Truth to tell, I wasn't too pleased, either. He was working on KC-135s at the time, and somewhere in the ME. He's going to Japan this time. The most danger would be an STD if he isn't careful.He now works on MQ-9s (Reapers).
"Don't ask, don't tell" is the rule for anyone deploying, and their families. My son got back from Okinawa in March. He liked Japan but got bored with it by the time his six months was up ... I think he found the language barrier too frustrating.
