You mean they didn't put the shittiest leader to represent the Navy on camera? Come on, it's propaganda 101. I don't even have to watch the vid to agree with you lol.
instructor was the most basic person you can ask for 😂😂😂😂 you really think he can run a real line. he just throwing buzz words everywhere to sound “smart”
It's on purpose. He's criticizing things in certain areas cause it's the military and he's trying to instill exactness. He ate all there food and deep down he knew it was good though
As a veteran, a good cook who cares and someone who doesn't give a shit is the difference between me having a good 9 month or a bad 9 month deployment.
Best mess hall I EVER ate at was in Heidelberg, Germany......fresh made to order omellettes everyday and 2-3 choices for dinner main course. Salad bar was pristine. I knew the cooks and was allowed to come back before close and get free leftovers.
And that all comes down to leadership. We are not robots. When we get worked like SLAVES in the galley from 0500-2200 on deployment with zero days off, don't expect a good meal. Former CS3 08-12. FTN!
Congratulations!! Thank you for having a daughter serving! Guy from Europe here and full of appreciation for the U.S. military, all branches, all positions.
Respect my cooks. When you’re on a field op for two weeks and eating straight MRE’s getting doodoo guts from the Chili Mac, a cooked meal from our food service Marines was heavenly.
I hear you. I was Army Infantry and tried to stay in the Paratroopers (you go, kicking and screaming inside, where they send you) One ration a day if that for the first 3-4 days and a hot meal was luxury and I thought the cooks did great. Army breakfast when we are in garrison, can not be beat and in my old age, I realize how hard these people work and my ego about being superman and all that brought a lot to humility. Still a bonehead, but always slightly better if I look in the mirror. Turn 60 soon andd still grateful for clean water and any food. Also, going with no food for two days or so does not faze me. Gratitude comes from not having; then getting basics: Salute Marine.
My father was a Navy cook for 20 years from 1943-1963. He then went on to open the first Jack-In-The-Box restaurant in Texas after the Navy. He worked there for 30 years. Pop passed away in 1998.
Much love and respect to Pop Pop. He did real good, especially with raising you... since you are out here giving him respect, and paying homage to his legacy. I SALUTE YOU!!!!💪🙏
Speaking as a military veteran (USMC, '74-'80, Cpl/E-4) I have to express my max respect for CS1 Reid. He holds his sailors to the highest standard, accepts no excuses, maintains proper military bearing at all times, and exhibits all the qualities of leadership. I hope he makes Chief soon.
This man is doing so much more for these kids than teaching them to cook. He is shaping these boys and girls. An unbelievable display of mentorship and leadership. I'm blown away
The best thing he does is make them taste the food to make sure it's actually something they'd want to eat for a meal. I'm a little concerned about the guy who couldn't explain cross contamination though. Maybe he should be assigned to clean up.
Must've been a pretty tough bootcamp, because "Still" still couldn't put some words together for what cross contamination is. Brother its spelt out in "cross contamination"
@@DubbPP Tons of benefits to joining the military. Also they get paid plenty when you think of the free housing, free food, free medical, free college, etc.
That instructor looks legit. Looks like a humble dude, constructive criticism. That's a good leader. I'm glad the majority of my instructors were like that.
When I was a soldier I really appreciated all the effort the cooks put into getting us fed. Many times they were regularly up before us or working overnight.
I like the instructor. When i went to comm school agter boot camp. My instructor was cool and not to hard on students, his style help me excel and become a Sgt in less than 3 years. RIP❤

Very outstanding video. Proud to see new generation of Navy service members laying a solid foundation in their craft, while exhibiting a passion for excellence in the field after completing career path training .
Business Insider, has the best military documentaries. I especially enjoy watching the basic training and AIT videos. I went through the military, when they still yelled, but I can see where a lot of these non combat jobs function better at low intensity dialogue, while not letting up on the expectations. There's the supposed right way, there is definitely a wrong way, there's Mom's way, but at the end of the day, it's the Navy way or the highway.
As a veteran, I wish when people talk about armed forces' salaries, they mention the fact that meals and housing is provided so that $48k doesn't sound as bad as they want to make it seem. For those service members who don't live in the housing provided, they are paid a housing allowance. They're also paid more if they have a family. Not that they are paid fantastically well, but it isn't poverty-level pay, either.
I was wondering. So you can pretty much use those $48k for discretionary purchase + savings a year? Sounds like quite the opportunity to build a foundation.
There are far too many service members who rely on assistance services. Even the Lt. Colonels who have been in for 20 years and have to support a family don't make enough to be financially comfortable.
CS1 Reid I felt did a great job as an instructor to these sailors. He was tough but fair with his criticism and he seemed to have a lot of patience as they learned the techniques. That shows great character for him and I hope this is a genuine thing and not just for the cameras. Everyone acts different when a camera is around them. But I hope that his true character is what we saw. Learn well sailors. Those in the dining facilities are by far one of the most important aspects in good morale.
I was on an aircraft carrier for five years. Worst food I’ve ever had. I remember the sound of undercooked rice hitting my tray. I did 10 years on two different submarines. Those 10 years had the best food. But not seeing the sun for months may not have been worth the trade.
That doesn’t surprise me, i mean let’s be honest….most of these guys got a negative score on their ASVAB 😂 From the outside looking in I assume that the submarine fleet gets the crème of the CS crop.
@@cruisinguy6024 it’s a mixed rate of skill subs usual have faster cs and better food options but that unfortunately doesn’t mean they are good I usual see better food on carriers than subs and small boys
That's the best way to critique. The crew will either lie to you by saying it's good then roast you in the messdecks or they will tell you the truth to your face. Won't get better if they don't hear the truth.
Oh. My. God. These kids are starting from zero. These instructors have infinite patience. There would be casualties if I had to teach how to make spaghetti and saw those plates.
When I was in high school we had a group of Navy Culinary Specialists come to the middle of nowhere Wyoming to show off their skills and techniques and even teach us how to do what they were doing. It was a great experience that I will never forget. This video really brought back the memories from that day.
I still remember my first duty stations cook. He was a civilian in the galley of Anacostia Naval Annex in Washington DC, Furnari Galley. Chef Jack if you’re still out there 24 years later thank you for all the amazing meals!
Man, you have no idea. Hours suck. Then at sea your kitchen rocks & rolls. Stuff sometimes ends up on the deck. Then there is the constant crew bitchers
On the early nuke subs (Las Angeles class) we all took turns cooking in the little kitchen/galley provided onboard... I learned right away to respect the Navy's traditions and ways, the Chief of the boat, and most of all the Navy Cook... Everybody including the XO, CO, we all kept our cooks happy... More days than less there were good meals in the Navy... I salute all of you culinary specialist from an old salty Sailor of 50 years ago...
+somekindaguy900 If a hypersonic warhead puts a 30 foot hole in an arleigh-burke it won’t matter. not a single designator out there that makes a sailor immune to explosions or shrapnel.
I was a food service specialist in the Army... I loved cooking in training... I knew how to cook when I went in from learning from my family growing up... but THIS taught me all the OTHER important things that were mentioned in this video(prep, inventory, sanitation certification, nutrition, measurements, preparation for the amount of people preparing for to limit waste, math equations to convert recipes for preparing larger portions, use of the equipment and machines, cutting techniques, mixing, etc)...
All I’ve heard from my Army vet friend is that Navy and Air Force eat the best foods 😅😂! My friend was in Fort Hood and he wished he went abroad instead and should have chose the Air Force. Appreciate all the Vets and people serving currently 🙏🏽
I cooked on CVN 71. I hated it for the whole 4 years. I vow I will never cook again. Wine up cooking for 20 years after I got out. I guess it will keep you employed. It destroy my knee though. I can hardly walk
I served 1500 students every morning at Washakie Center cafeteris. I had a little help but pretty much handled it by myself, scrambled or eggs over easy, hash browns, pancakes and french toast, bacon or sausage and probably. a few things I can't remember! Worked my butt off........and loved it! Two six foot grills going full time!
Retired DCC 2017. I’ll always love the galley. First ship while FSA, unlike most, my tour was great. I got the cooks to let me do the eggs to order in the mornings, and I did all their dc PMS and spot checks and ordered their supplies the rest of the day. No duty and I wasn’t on the cooking roster lol. They loved me in there, I was spoiled as hell. Great experience
Food safety is so important on a carrier. You could potentially put your fellow shipmates out of commission for a few days if they suffer from foodborne illnesses.
Decades ago, I took an evening community college course like that. Tuition was around $100. We got to eat almost every class. I chowed down on way more than $100 worth of food over the semester. The school had to lose money on that class. We even fed a few security guards if we had leftovers. Small batch cooking although the kitchen was more home style and less industrial style
Culinary schools are in every community College practically not to mention higher quality ones like CIA. You have to pay though you're not getting a free education
MS3 Bradley in my time onboard ship, that man was amazing. Made to order omelets for breakfast were the highpoint of my mornings and that man knew how to make some amazing things, glad i got to work with him and get a chance to eat his food. It's been 30 years and i STILL remember how good he made things.
I was a MS3 SS on the USS Kentucky back in the early 90's. Cooking for approximately 150 max on a submarine. A school was in SD back in those days as well. Great memories from those days.
Culinary specialist definitely wake up early in boot camp we barely get any sleep Also when we get to fleet we 4:30 am to 8pm or later On Deployments we work everyday almost 24 hours non stop
There will alllllways be a special place in my heart for the cooks in the mess hall for my sailors who had to feed sooo many people and they did so well and sometimes with not-so-great-quality ingredients. In Guam, they had to be very inventive. The magic was always in the kitchen.
Thank you for sharing the superb program. I have a greater appreciation for The Culinary division and the whole Navy service in general! Thank you everyone who has served thank you thank you
@@monello99z96 Mr. Romeo.....hmmm...is he the nerdy dude that slaps your desk with a stick? The dude that says "if I dont see the orbs of your eyes, youre sleeping!"?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Real talk: stuff like this is why the US military is so crazy dominant. Like in WWII Japan was on heavy rations, meanwhile we had an entire ship dedicated to only getting ice cream to our troops. The US military can put a fully functional Burger King anywhere in the world inside of 48 hours.
Picking up kitchen skills that will serve them well for the rest of their lives without question! When they are done these skills will hopefully keep them off the junk food!
Onboard the Reuben James, we always looked forward to when the commercial bread would run out, because that meant MS2 (CS2) Daily would be baking REAL bread. And man, lemme tell you, that aroma spreads throughout the entire ship. 0200 and people are waking up in their rack, sniffing the air and wondering if they're dreaming because it's so nice. That morning at breakfast, there's a LINE at the toast machine, cause everyone is toasting up that REAL bread. God Bless you, Todd Daily, wherever you are today!
One time our department had a rigorous day of drills. ALL day. Every watch team, one after the other. Everyone not on watch was responding. When we were finally done, the CS crew served us a special "4th meal". Pasta, garlic bread, grilled cheese. Tomato sauce, meat sauce, alfredo. Something for everyone. It was the best meal we ever had on the ship. It was truly an example of good food, served by great people, and morale was at an all-time high. Funny though, they never could cook rice correctly.
Kinda funny, you're not the only comment who mentioned undercooked rice. I wonder if it's just the cooking style? I'm sure some of our allies would love to show the Navy how rice cookers work.
MS3 (Mess Specialists 3rd Class) 1998-2002 here. I graduated A school when it was at lackland AFB. I never forget that my name is on every meal i provided and no matter how hard this job is and your day sucks it can't reflect in the food. We took pride in it and did it for the shipmates. Most of us hated our job but always did it the right way that got job done. I was assugned to the com7thfleets flag mess to cook for the admiral and his staff officers after also TAD to the USS Blue Ridge drydock barge galley. I got compliments for my spaghetti sauce, soups, braised pork chops, frenchtoast, and mixed salads. One officer told me that I was the only person in 7 years that actually cooked his overeasy eggs right.
What's the recipe for sauce? I'm really curious compared to restaurant and jar and like to make it for my son when he gets time for holidays. He grad Lackland last year, maybe they still use your recipe?
Typical carrier meal: beef with a rainbow sheen, rice that is dry and crunchy on top with an inch of oil sitting on the bottom, salad that is so old you can see through the lettuce, and cake made with salt instead of sugar. I ate all of these things while I was deployed.
You can tell this class builds confidence as well.. when you first start cooking its a lot of 2nd guessing yourself but if you stay confident and follow directions you will do just fine.. trust yourself and your meals will come out well and will only approve over time.
How is that one sailor an E4 yet she’s a student? I thought you couldn’t make Petty Officer without being rated and you can’t get rated until you pass A-School?
lol the galley week part was hilarious with the kids dead on their feet. They're not used to 4am at all at that point haha. I worked first shift with a long commute for a couple years so I kinda get it. Had to buy a motorcycle just to keep me sane.
I’m not a military guy, but I think that if I was, I’d probably sign up for something like this. Cooking is such an essential skill that benefits the troops that fight for our freedom directly.
That instructor is really good. Honest and up front with them and very encouraging. He is a real asset to the military.
You can tell he is a servant leader. We need more like him!

Great instructors... teaching these young sailors has got to be rewarding and challenging!
Probably great duty. Not putting in too many hours. Half days when there is no class to train. Weekends/holidays off
The instructor is a gem of a man. There were a few laugh out loud moments in this video.
I was a food service specialist in the Army... I loved cooking in training... I knew how to cook when I went in from learning from my family growing up... but THIS taught me all the OTHER important things that were mentioned in this video(prep, inventory, sanitation certification, nutrition, measurements, preparation for the amount of people preparing for to limit waste, math equations to convert recipes for preparing larger portions, use of the equipment and machines, cutting techniques, mixing, etc)...
All I’ve heard from my Army vet friend is that Navy and Air Force eat the best foods 😅😂! My friend was in Fort Hood and he wished he went abroad instead and should have chose the Air Force. Appreciate all the Vets and people serving currently 🙏🏽
I cooked on CVN 71. I hated it for the whole 4 years. I vow I will never cook again. Wine up cooking for 20 years after I got out. I guess it will keep you employed. It destroy my knee though. I can hardly walk
I served 1500 students every morning at Washakie Center cafeteris. I had a little help but pretty much handled it by myself, scrambled or eggs over easy, hash browns, pancakes and french toast, bacon or sausage and probably. a few things I can't remember! Worked my butt off........and loved it! Two six foot grills going full time!
Retired DCC 2017. I’ll always love the galley. First ship while FSA, unlike most, my tour was great. I got the cooks to let me do the eggs to order in the mornings, and I did all their dc PMS and spot checks and ordered their supplies the rest of the day. No duty and I wasn’t on the cooking roster lol. They loved me in there, I was spoiled as hell. Great experience
Food safety is so important on a carrier. You could potentially put your fellow shipmates out of commission for a few days if they suffer from foodborne illnesses.
Disappointed I didn't hear YES CHEF once. haha
Is there a class like that for non military people? I love the no nonsense structure of it.
I wish there was, I like this type of set-up
Decades ago, I took an evening community college course like that. Tuition was around $100. We got to eat almost every class. I chowed down on way more than $100 worth of food over the semester. The school had to lose money on that class. We even fed a few security guards if we had leftovers. Small batch cooking although the kitchen was more home style and less industrial style
Of course. Culinary schools are all over
Culinary schools are in every community College practically not to mention higher quality ones like CIA. You have to pay though you're not getting a free education
Literally Google "cooking classes" in your area.
There is a reason everyone is excited to find out their base is supplied by Naval cooks. Those folks know what they are doing.
Brought back memories of the Army cook school in 1981, Ft. Dix. Thanks!
MS3 Bradley in my time onboard ship, that man was amazing. Made to order omelets for breakfast were the highpoint of my mornings and that man knew how to make some amazing things, glad i got to work with him and get a chance to eat his food. It's been 30 years and i STILL remember how good he made things.
I was a MS3 SS on the USS Kentucky back in the early 90's. Cooking for approximately 150 max on a submarine. A school was in SD back in those days as well. Great memories from those days.
Im a CSS! Going to the uss Washington
@4:00 You cannot wash your knife at the hand sink. 😂 I'm docking points.
“Did you ever have to kill anyone while you were in?”
CS - “You could say that…”
I am a former Marine, and in all my time on Marine or Navy stations, I have never come across "Oxtails" at 2:14.
"You have no flavor on this plate. The meat is not done"
- Dude smiles
Culinary specialist definitely wake up early in boot camp we barely get any sleep
Also when we get to fleet we 4:30 am to 8pm or later
On Deployments we work everyday almost 24 hours non stop
There will alllllways be a special place in my heart for the cooks in the mess hall for my sailors who had to feed sooo many people and they did so well and sometimes with not-so-great-quality ingredients. In Guam, they had to be very inventive. The magic was always in the kitchen.
Thank you for sharing the superb program. I have a greater appreciation for The Culinary division and the whole Navy service in general! Thank you everyone who has served thank you thank you
Went to "A" School in San Diego's NTC back in '89 and again at Lackland AFB in San Antonio '01. Recipe Cards and 1282s were the norm.
Was Mr. Romeo 1 of the A school instructors?
@@monello99z96 Mr. Romeo.....hmmm...is he the nerdy dude that slaps your desk with a stick? The dude that says "if I dont see the orbs of your eyes, youre sleeping!"?🤣🤣🤣🤣
The first thing I did when I got to my permanent duty station at the 1ST Armored Division in Germany was to make friends with the cooks.
Nothing but respect for everyone on these ships
Real talk: stuff like this is why the US military is so crazy dominant. Like in WWII Japan was on heavy rations, meanwhile we had an entire ship dedicated to only getting ice cream to our troops. The US military can put a fully functional Burger King anywhere in the world inside of 48 hours.
0:08 sums up almost every meal that I had on a ship
I heard that description, and I was like “he’s ready for the fleet, ship him out!” 😂
"This is a standard Navy recipe muffin right here"... I guess that's a compliment?
"Its not great but its not good" to a guy who thinks he is the best cook ever is hilarious. Guys an absolute goober.
I would love to cook for armed service guys. I love to cook. And that instructor is a real cutie! He can correct me anytime.
Picking up kitchen skills that will serve them well for the rest of their lives without question! When they are done these skills will hopefully keep them off the junk food!
Onboard the Reuben James, we always looked forward to when the commercial bread would run out, because that meant MS2 (CS2) Daily would be baking REAL bread. And man, lemme tell you, that aroma spreads throughout the entire ship. 0200 and people are waking up in their rack, sniffing the air and wondering if they're dreaming because it's so nice. That morning at breakfast, there's a LINE at the toast machine, cause everyone is toasting up that REAL bread. God Bless you, Todd Daily, wherever you are today!
One time our department had a rigorous day of drills. ALL day. Every watch team, one after the other. Everyone not on watch was responding. When we were finally done, the CS crew served us a special "4th meal". Pasta, garlic bread, grilled cheese. Tomato sauce, meat sauce, alfredo. Something for everyone. It was the best meal we ever had on the ship. It was truly an example of good food, served by great people, and morale was at an all-time high.
Funny though, they never could cook rice correctly.
Kinda funny, you're not the only comment who mentioned undercooked rice. I wonder if it's just the cooking style? I'm sure some of our allies would love to show the Navy how rice cookers work.
MS3 (Mess Specialists 3rd Class) 1998-2002 here. I graduated A school when it was at lackland AFB. I never forget that my name is on every meal i provided and no matter how hard this job is and your day sucks it can't reflect in the food. We took pride in it and did it for the shipmates. Most of us hated our job but always did it the right way that got job done. I was assugned to the com7thfleets flag mess to cook for the admiral and his staff officers after also TAD to the USS Blue Ridge drydock barge galley. I got compliments for my spaghetti sauce, soups, braised pork chops, frenchtoast, and mixed salads. One officer told me that I was the only person in 7 years that actually cooked his overeasy eggs right.
What's the recipe for sauce? I'm really curious compared to restaurant and jar and like to make it for my son when he gets time for holidays. He grad Lackland last year, maybe they still use your recipe?
Typical carrier meal: beef with a rainbow sheen, rice that is dry and crunchy on top with an inch of oil sitting on the bottom, salad that is so old you can see through the lettuce, and cake made with salt instead of sugar. I ate all of these things while I was deployed.
If the boneheads in this video made your food I can understand why . . . 😬
Beef with rainbow sheen is normal
On my 2011-12 deployment on The Vinson, I almost chipped a tooth eating Spaghetti😂
My dad and his navy buddies still talk about how they loved certain meals they had during their deployment
I find it unimaginable that they didn't show them learning to make omelets. That was the best part of serving.
let em cook🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
You can tell this class builds confidence as well.. when you first start cooking its a lot of 2nd guessing yourself but if you stay confident and follow directions you will do just fine.. trust yourself and your meals will come out well and will only approve over time.
Keep doing more videos like that. Thank you. ❤
these instructors wanna sound so sophisticated but on a real line all this shit is common sense 😂😂😂😂
Exactly 💯 Spaghetti and meat. He in there criticizing like they making 5 star meals😂
Always wondered how some could go from cook in the military to Chef. Their MO is Culinary School!
How is that one sailor an E4 yet she’s a student? I thought you couldn’t make Petty Officer without being rated and you can’t get rated until you pass A-School?
She served in the ceremonial guard first before going to her A school
lol the galley week part was hilarious with the kids dead on their feet. They're not used to 4am at all at that point haha. I worked first shift with a long commute for a couple years so I kinda get it. Had to buy a motorcycle just to keep me sane.
"alright my foods gonna be better than yours", probably a day or so after being told you have terrible food, is some top notch Dunning-Kruger
I’m not a military guy, but I think that if I was, I’d probably sign up for something like this. Cooking is such an essential skill that benefits the troops that fight for our freedom directly.
