    @TribeofShabazz I'd say the Coast Guard but I was in for ten years.
    And yes, their culinary school in Petaluma, Calif does teach you how to bake from scratch!
    And you use "local" foods too. I was stationed in Maine for 10 years so that meant fish, shellfish and,.....lobster!
    We used "fresh" foods whenever possable.
    On the big Cutters though you might have to use powered milk and eggs once in a while and at sea we'd usually bake 2-4 days a week.

  • @semco72057
    @semco72057 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Air Force may have sent their chef's to that school since our food got much better after the word got out that the service had hired civilian chefs to teach their food service personnel how to cook food properly. When I first entered the Air Force in 1968 the best food was that served in basic training, and technical school. The best food after that was that which I ate in Thailand during the Vietnam War, until some years later when the food improved finally. I use to fly up to McChord AFB in Washington state just to eat the food they served and their food was so good until the officers was lined up to eat it. I still think of those days and how good their food was. I loved eating at Scott AFB mess hall also since they served great food also.

    @jondstewart 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I enjoyed being a cook in the military. But like I said before, if you stick to this chosen career after you get out or retire, best choice is to work for the government as a cook, like a WG-6 or WG-8, which pay decent wages ranging from $15 to $30 an hour depending on where you live, Some Air Force bases such as the Air Force Academy, Peterson, Travis, and Elmendorf employ these privileged folks and many VA centers as well. But you need to know your stuff well to be hired as one. Restaurant and food service business is UGLY outside! Low pay, burnout, drug and alcohol addiction, and high turnover are the sad reality! Even if you're a well-trained chef that has been to culinary school!

    • @jondstewart
      @jondstewart 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      wavygr Yes, but I’ll bet you anything the majority don’t last more than a couple of years at one. And unlike the federal service that I am in, you probably don’t get vacation, sick time, bonuses, and retirement. And in the federal service it takes an act Congress to get you fired and you really have to screw up badly. I’ve known many well-trained chefs go from one place to another and are totally burned out from it, good money or not.

    You get the same pay and benefits but you work twice the hours as everyone else. When every other soldier is off for weekends and holidays, you still have to work. Every other job works about 8 hours a day with a lunch break, cooks sometimes work up to 18 hours a day, and your lucky if you get five minutes to eat.

      Because they dont get to eat right, You eat scraps as a cook what ever you can get a hold for yourself. You dont have time to make yourself a actual meal. I work as a cook in the civilian area and if im working a 8 hour shift. There is no break, 10 hour shift no break 12 hour shift i get atleast a hour. but that is rare.

      We had one cook in our unit do 8 years and never see the inside of a DFAC. He had Combat Action Badge and Brave Rifles 3rd ACR Patch and a Big Red 1 patch and he was always QRF, Gate Guard, and Patrol. So mileage may vary big time

      Brooklynbabyy N You won’t be a chef in the Air Force until you have put in your time, effort, and proving yourself competent as a cook. you’ll want to take other courses to broaden your culinary skills other than the basic course you get in tech school and on the job.And yes, you have tuition assistance, but I don’t think it’s 100% free. At least when I was in it was not. Services is the squadron where people cook, but also work in the fitness centers, readiness, recreation, and unfortunately, mortuary affairs.
      Unless you want to be a grunt and infantry person or be out on the water at least half the year, the Air Force is your best choice. It’s the most Gucci and yuppified of the military branches and many of enlisted are from middle and upper middle class backgrounds
