When I joined the navy we were called Mess Specialists. I was glad when they changed the rate to Culinary Specialists. It makes a more appealing name for the rate.
My dad was a CS when he went back into the Navy after serving in WWII and Korean wars. He also served during the Vietnam war. He received much respect when it was learned he was in the Battle of Leyte Gulf as a “Tin Can Sailor”. He told me the CS’s would smear butter and garlic on the grills. The smell would permeate throughout the ship. The crew would be hungry thinking of steaks and instead be served beans and franks. 😂
Good stuff. My niece is there rn. I’m also a Navy vet but my only brush with CS was TAD in cargo on an aircraft carrier where I met my closest friends on the boat.
This was a great vid for me to watch I’m 16 and I’m going to enlist and hopefully be a culinary specialist. I was a little worried cause I don’t have a lot of experience in culinary arts. I know the basics but seeing that they show you stuff definitely gives me more confidence. Great video!
@@arteagaa95 I am doing this rate as well and shipping in June. I’ve watched videos and heard bad things about this rate and that makes me worried. Are there any good things about this rate?
Class A School has changed. When I went through CS/SD A School in early 1970 in San Diego, we didn't go to the galley until around week 6. For the CSs, weeks 7 & 8 were field messing and records & returns while the SDs went to the BOQ for officer's mess training. MSCS, USN, Ret.
Quick tip don’t add glitches effect when transitioning to different video. It’s making it hard for viewers to focus on what’s doing on on the next video 😐
In 1970 I went to A school in San Diego, bldg 94. We each had little galleys with small equipment. First day was making eggs on the flat grill. One kid smashed his eggs onto the grill and ground them into the surface with his spatula till they were cremated and then discarded them. We are all thinking, this kids in trouble, but to our amazement the PO said, now there is a fleet sailor who knows how to season his grill. The rest of us stood in shock. Welcome to Navy cooking.
In the labs they do cook on stove tops to get comfortable cooking/baking by themselves. In the last week they go into the galley and prepare about 100 portions of food for themselves and also feeding the junior class.

Thank you. I joined when I was 17 and honestly don't regret choosing this culinary rate.

How'd it go?
Don’t worry about experience they will teach you the basics. You will be fine.
My best instructor of all time. Thanks for the knowledge you impacted in me during my time in A-School.
How did he impact into you? Sounds kinda gay.
@@cringecommentcalculator5381 You sound like a self hating gay man desperately trying to seem straight by making unprompted comments like this.

I went to the six week A School in lovely NTC San Diego in 1981. I made tarter sauce and french dressing, that was it. Retired MSC(SS)
My dad retired as MSCS. USS Independence
This is a good video cs2! I wish I could have seen this before a school defiantly well detailed and accurate ❗️
One of the best CS2s I've met in CS A school
-class 58 2019
This video was so helpful, Thank you! I’m hoping to enlist in September & choose CS as my rate 🤞🏾
Good luck ma’am. I am enlisting as an ABE soon as well, hope you pass.
It gets way worse than that, this is all propaganda. You ready to work for 12 hours in a mcdonalds level kitchen out to sea?
Did you ever enlist?

Good presentations

Great video, CS2.
Ngl the thing that stuck with me the most was the fact that a spatula was called a food Turner XD
Always have your mise en place. If you are in the weeds don't panic improvise.
It's a lot of work really it is
He makes cs rate look cool
😂😂 it can be fun at times. Just really depends on the command, leadership and the people you work with.
Explain life on the Donald Hood I mean Cook CS1 😂
Is CS hard cause they says CS is super hard and I pick CS I’m ship out january 4
Hooya
Bravo zulu
(You know damn well that shit don't happen on the boat...)
Good times at CS A school
Nice Work I’m definitely choosing this rate I love cooking also am I aloud to get tattoos after boot camp and do I get a signing bonus when I sign up
When it comes to the bonus, a recruiter would be a better to ask. You will not be able to get any tattoos after bootcamp or during school.
@@arteagaa95 wait so when can I get tattoos then
@@kendrickjones122 YOU CAN GET AFTER A SCHOOL I GUESS
Excellent video CS2. Has the Navy switched from teaching large batch cooking to stove top training?

Nice!

Don’t do it ,I’m an cook active duty and it’s a hostile environment
You can barely understand this guy. An exercise in wokeness.
How are you a cooking instructor and you don't taste your students food? That's ridiculous and super lazy. No pride in your work.
