@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Nah man don’t listen to him he be tricking you. I been to his Instagram. His name is Lego. He crazy 🤪 I bet he think he’s Napoleon too. Watch out bro. I know this is a year ago but so what.
I served aboard submarines in the USN as a Steward in the early 70’s. I loved cooking for 12 officers instead of everyone onboard, however, doing all the non cooking assignments were demeaning at their best.
I was tad at a naval air station to the galley and they worked like 5:days on 2 off then 2 days n 5 off basically I worked half a month I was loving it
As a former wardroom member on a ship I got a kick out of your characterization of officers as being lazy.. Picky? Yes. Officers pay for their food unlike enlisted. The mess bill each months gives them a little different feeling about their meals. The secret is to build relationships...both ways.
Does a cs aboard a submarine go through different training than any other Navy cs? Is it a career track you have to apply for, qualify for, be “selected“ for? Do civilian restaurants tend to fast track ex-Navy cs’ because they can safely presume certain things, like kitchen fundamentals, food safety, generalized discipline, respect for authority, conscientious and ethical use of their own authority… things like that? I would think such types would be highly sought after, and one of the best things to have on your resume… has this been your observation regarding post- discharge prospects in the civilian world? I know in some circles, applying for a job doing the exact same thing you did in the military is almost a ‘hire ‘em on the spot’ proposition, and for pretty much the same reason, and in very technical fields, assumptions can be made about the level of training they received, and they already knew they might constantly work under the scrutiny of some quality-control individual and aren’t threatened by it or resent it.
So look, you go through CS A school like every culinary specialist does, but then you go into submarine school, and that’s when you get put onto your submarine as a cook.
And yeah most chefs are some hot headed hardcore guys, being a cook in the navy probably won’t get you much creativity but it will give you experience in a high stress environment doing well, cooking, and that’s good for your resume
I cranked in the wardroom - I hated it, every officer decided they needed to talk to you... I can think of few things as annoying. They kicked me out after 2 days and put me in the Chiefs mess. The Chiefs mess was the best, they knew how to leave you alone and let you work! They even let me cook and I was an engineer - I almost changed rate.
Not saying that everywhere is like this but when I was in the Navy on deployment on the GW the CSs were lazy and the TAD FSAs were treated like garbage that worked 18 hrs/days while the CSs slept all day especially in S-2 general mess/cargo. Cleaning Wardrooms was the best though the officers uses to leave tips
Well I have to say, ALL or, mostly All jobs in the military involve long hours. 14 Hours is nothing to the Airborne Infantry that I was part of. 24/7 while I was in "the field" training with guard/security duty, movement to contact etc. You all have clean sheets and hot showers everyday, plus fresh food daily. Yeah you are basically a servant, so are many other jobs in the military. You are being trained to go become a chef if you want in civilian life. Anyway, thanks for the details. For the 6 years I was in I wondered why I didn't enlist for cook. I should have. Oh wwell.
Hi, how you doing! Two questions I seen in the comments you stated if you can go back in time you wouldn’t go CS route can you elaborate on what exactly made you feel that way? N where was the school? Was it located in Texas ?
The school is in fort lee Virginia. I’m just not of fan of the type of cooking we do. We are cooking for a large mass so a lot of the food is precooked and we really can’t put our own twist on meals because we have to follow a recipe card. Plus the hours are very long and it’s the same thing everyday. There is a lot of positives to being a cook but I’m not personally happy being a CS we get shitted on a lot.
Understandable. So I did the oath today and signed contract today as well for CS rate however, was informed by multiple people I can switch rates before my ship out date in April, is this correct? Crazy because I also was told it was a school in Texas? Civilian school ..... I was told this not by my recruiter but the people within Meps. Thank you for responding btw. Appreciate you.
Say what? Score high? On what? On how to crack open eggs and scramble them? Hell. You don’t need but put your name on the test and say “Im done.” You could even use a crayon. Im surprised the test ain’t just you opening a bag of flour and putting it in a bowl in front of someone and they tellin you “ok you got the job”
To be honest I can’t speak on that because I never been on a sub or talk to anyone that was a CS on a sub. I would say make the best of it weather good or bad. I know their deployments are not as long as us surface guys so that’s a good thing.
Jesus Garcia not much I know they work on land most of the time not on ships. They do a lot of LS work like ordering parts when they not cooking in the fields. It’s a little different than cooking on a ship.
Zoe Skoogman yeah you can take leave whenever you just have to route a leave chit and wait to see if gets approved or not by your chain of command. Everyone takes leave for Christmas and New Years if your not on deployment. Then we get holidays off throughout the year. As long as you got leave days on the books you can take leave.
Zoe Skoogman Deployments are when you are away from family the most it could be anywhere from 6-9 months straight. Then we go on underpays every now and then for a week a months 3 weeks it all depends on the mission.
The Official Dave Harris thank you so much! This has been really helpful, I’m really considering becoming a CS, but I know for sure I’ll be going into the Navy (that is if I can get through boot Camp)
my rate is bm i was kinda forced into picking it and I’ve heard bad things about it and idk im tryna see if i can change it to cs (my score was low btw) do you think bm is as bad as everybody says it is
It all depends what kind of person you are. It is a very hands on job painting the ship, sweeping and swabbing ect.. you will be outside in the rain sleet and snow and sometimes blazing heat. You stand a lot of watch underway. When you make rank to E4 you will have a lot of peole working under you so it gets a lot easier no more labor work for the most part just supervising. A lot of seamen say they hate BM but once they become a petty officer they tend to like being a BM.
No you can’t pick the supervisors will put you where they feel you will do best at. Cooks usually start off as cooks on watch and move around from there.
Everyone in the navy goes through the same bootcamp no matter what job, but seal go through an advance training after bootcamp you won’t have to do that.
@@gracierukavina462 yes you get to eat but it’s rare that you will get to actually sit down and eat because the meal is always behind and you have to rush to eat.
本当BrokeBoi it all depends on the command. They suppose to rotate you every six months. Most likely where ever you best at that where they will put you. Just be willing to try different positions when your time comes.
Yep if your a cook that’s all you do. Once you move up in ranks you can do office jobs but when you first start off cooking is all you will do. Yes you get off the ship when we go to different ports.
10120royrican it was 2 written test in A school. The first week and the second week. Then you do labs were you cook for the next two weeks. Upon graduating of A school you will het your orders on where you will go/what ship you will go to. Then you go on leave for two weeks until you go to your first command.
10120royrican yeah just make the best out of it. Make sure you run a lot and do push ups and sit ups to past the physical test. Study your start guid you got from your recruiter. Also make sure you get a job in bootcamp so you can make rank like section leader or laundry PO.
Dani D of course you can. Im on shore duty now and im about to take 2 college classes at southwestern university. You can also take online classes on the ship, its just a little tougher.
Taste Buddz NICE! But isn’t it going to be hard since they work A LOT of hours ? And how long before you can change your job ? I’m not going to be a CS forever right ?
Pac seaman is not a bad gig if you dont mind working as undesignated seaman working with boatswain mates (BM). You would be painting sanding standing a lot of watches all outside in rain sleet and snow. I have seen people get jobs they want as a pac seaman its just takes a while for most people to get what they want snd the stay seamans forevere because they can rank up.
Taste Buddz Thank you for replying! My recruiter told me that I can do either pact seaman or CS and that I had 6 months to strike for a rate after entering into the Navy. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about pact program, but I do want keep my options open and retake the test.
@@latoyaharris1685 i seen people be pac seaman for 2 years. So 6 months is not a guarantee. There are good that comes with pac seaman its just different with every person. But as a CS you will make rank quick so thats more money. CS is just a tough rate and very unappreciated but it does get easier.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Hi fam am joining as a cs I scored a 35 on my test and that was honestly the only choice I know the others I had no idea what they were. I’ve never done CS before looking at all these videos I think I made a bad choice there’s no way I could change it right? 😂 I have bootcamp in February am stressing.
If you don’t want to be a CS I would go undesignated, because you will hate life in the navy cooking everyday if that’s where your heart is not at. You will rank up faster being a CS.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 sorry for the late reply. I've been thinking it over, what are the hours like? Do we get days off,etc? Either way, I might request a dar and go for cs.
Bobby Palmer our to sea CS work everyday about 12-14 hours a day. In port you get off days and weekends just like any other job, but you work between 7-12 hours a day.
Mark Malara as a E5 reservist working 2 days a months you earn around $400. It’s different for every rank. You can also get orders to work more days and earn more money.
It all depends. First you have to complete 2 years as a CS then hopefully the year you joined the navy as a CS if that year group is overmanned you would be able to. You would just have to talk to your career Counselor. If the rate is undermanned then sorry buddy you will be stuck as a CS like i was.
The Official Dave Harris do you regret it? I like cooking but I understand it will be hard work... it would be cool to eventually cook for the White House... is the money good?
@@Franktheplumber i would say there is a lot of different opportunities being a cook like working at the white house. Being a cook on a ship you are going to heat up precooked meals in the oven more than cooking meals from scratch. The money is good you will leave comfortable if your smart with you money. Thats once you make rank when the money start coming!!
Hi petty officer just signed my contract for CS yesterday I’m having a hard time accepting my fate I really just wanted to get into the Navy and job was the best one offered I wanted to go in AO but was full none available can I still change my mind even if I signed contract already I ship May 19
@@killa_kxm5519 No I didn’t but I talked to my recruiter he said I can change my MOS after a year or 2 or I can try out for a special warfare job when I get to my fleet which is what I’m going to do I wanted to do Avation rescue swimmer since I’ve been swimming almost my whole life so I will be trying out for that !
Zay's World I personally don’t because I’m not a fan of this type of cooking for so many people. I rather do something else but that’s just my opinion.
Why are the cook's on watch being placed on shipboard watchbills the daily duty cooks are already standing watch the reasoning I'm told is this change was made due to the USS Richard fire the only thing this will do is hurt your retention the good cooks will just leave

The Official Dave Harris do you regret it? I like cooking but I understand it will be hard work... it would be cool to eventually cook for the White House... is the money good?
@@Franktheplumber No i dont regret being a CS but if i could go back in time i wouldnt be a CS.
@@Franktheplumber i would say there is a lot of different opportunities being a cook like working at the white house. Being a cook on a ship you are going to heat up precooked meals in the oven more than cooking meals from scratch. The money is good you will leave comfortable if your smart with you money. Thats once you make rank when the money start coming!!
Hi petty officer just signed my contract for CS yesterday I’m having a hard time accepting my fate I really just wanted to get into the Navy and job was the best one offered I wanted to go in AO but was full none available can I still change my mind even if I signed contract already I ship May 19

@@killa_kxm5519 No I didn’t but I talked to my recruiter he said I can change my MOS after a year or 2 or I can try out for a special warfare job when I get to my fleet which is what I’m going to do I wanted to do Avation rescue swimmer since I’ve been swimming almost my whole life so I will be trying out for that !

How can you rank up faster as a cs?
Yea you can i made E5 in 3 years coming in as a E1
The Official Dave Harris do you enjoy being a cs?!
Zay's World I personally don’t because I’m not a fan of this type of cooking for so many people. I rather do something else but that’s just my opinion.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 damn bro
@@anthonyy_vivid5438 it’s the truth
Why are the cook's on watch being placed on shipboard watchbills the daily duty cooks are already standing watch the reasoning I'm told is this change was made due to the USS Richard fire the only thing this will do is hurt your retention the good cooks will just leave
Do they cook good food
It’s ok! Some days are better then others. It’s like eating school lunch..lil
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 aw man I was hoping it wasn’t like no school lunch
How do you get to the culinary positions
cyris tuiloma when you go to the recruiter ask to be a cook.

So like, if I wanna be a servant for the CO, do I tell the recruiter I want that position? Will they train me and test me for the position? Is it gonna be competitive getting the role?
