- Formerly known as a mess specialist, Culinary Specialists (CS) keep the crew happy, healthy and ready for daily operations. You’ll learn a wide range of cooking techniques, traveling the world to embrace different culinary styles and food options. Life as a CS will take you to ships, to Camp David, or even to the White House as a personal chef. Only a few can say they’ve perfected the art of cooking at sea-and as a Culinary Specialist, you are one of them. Learn more at bit.ly/2nnJiN3
Many CS's (MS's when I was active) feel like they aren't appreciated. For all of you CS's I promise you you are appreciated and you drastically improve the morale and health of your shipmates. Thank you!!!
CSS's workload isn't the same as CS's ashore from what I've heard, but the thing that stays the same is keep up your morale and don't be afraid to mess up. Basic Training wasn't hard, in my opinion. It's just a mental thing really. A school itself wasn't hard either honestly. Only challenging thing for you might be the math?
Aha, def smaller space but you get more training out of the whole atmosphere so woohoo! I couldn't do it when they told me you can't opt out of it lol. You have actual in class lessons for the math and everything on the exams anyways, along with a guide book of it all so you'll be fine! I don't think the A-school is set up to *that* good, but it gets the basics out.
Yes lol. It's kind of just an intro to the products honestly. You do everything once before the final week of actually doing your galley session. It may not make you into Ramsay but you do have fun, depending on the instructors aha. And since the course is now on an army base you will have to run miles and what not every other day in the morning~
I'm still a Cs. Only got in about last year lol
MysticalOppars Thanks for the helpful information. My rate is cs and I’m leaving for bootcamp on the 27th.
This is what i'm going in the Navy to do! Signed my contract 3 days ago and I ship out next month.
Wow I signed up to be a css. Wishing you good luck out there !
@@immyownluva thanks , i ship out this tuesday.. good luck to you as well !!
HOOYAH!
Good Luck to you!
@@kiya3039 Thank you !
Ay this is the mayport galley. I recognize a lot of these CS's that literally served me a couple minutes ago.
This is a very accurate navy vid. GOD BLESS. CS is a great Job and they do have you doing a lot so if you like doing a lot than its a good a rate and they let you do what you want a bit unlike boot camp so it was fun at least with the right crew. The crew makes a big difference in the rate and the test has a high PNA.
I'm a CS in the navy and it is one of the best jobs to get that one sailor that says you just made my day by giving him a little extra food
❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t take my Asvap test seriously and now I’m a cs . I ship out to boot camp on August 4th
Me too man lol, I think it’s not the best job I could get obviously got one of the lowest asvab score requirements but hey I’d rather be doing this than some engineering or tech job in the navy, the only other job I could’ve seen myself doing was as an ABF, ABH.
@@jayjyuri8796 I got ABF with Asvab score 33. I want to switch immediately I don’t know hw cos I sign the contract already 😢😢
@@justicedickson3688 eh it’s a cool job you get to be with the colored boys on the flight deck, you’ll love it if you’re into that, it’s a simple job
@@jayjyuri8796how’s CS treating you man. Do you like it?
This is what I WANT to do. Taking the steps soon😊
Well, how’d things turn out, two years later?
Yea how’d it turn out?
She dead
😂😂😂y’all funny as hell
Lmao I bet you have regrets now. I know I do. I’m skatin right now lmao
I'm thinking of joining CS , I'm not sure yet. People say they hate it but I wonder if they even like to cook at all. I work in a kitchen already so I'm pretty much used to fast past and cleaning.
If you want to be a cs go for it I myself is a CS in the navy and I love it. People don't always have to like it but everyone in the navy has a part and as a cs I can say we play a large part in it.
I’m also a CS and to be honest it’s not bad it just depends who you have for your chain of command. That goes for any other rate as well. I worked in the wardroom and yea some days were hell but it was fun as well
I just pick job today I pick CS but my friends said CS in navy is super hard like you working around 16 hours per day? Is that true? I mean I like cooking tbh I already have experience too I cook in restaurants before too and yeah I’mma go bootcamp January 4
HOOYAH! You can learn more about this rate here: bit.ly/3GZ53KP
@@remytolentino1372 a lot of hours especially underway
Don’t do it... I’m warning you 😂
Chris W 😭😩
Why? :(
Suffer
Why ???
Melodrama a lot of stress... it may sound east because you just cook but it’s not fun at all
Im going to MEPS tomorrow to become a culinary specialist, hopefully it bodes well
⚓⚓⚓
How you doing brother.
I mess cranked twice...hated it the 1st time, hated i had to do it again until i started to work in Chiefs mess.
I leave July 12,2023 bro and I chose to be a CSS a culinary specialist SUBMARINE mane Les gettit!!!
What a beautiful, motivating video. That grill full of T-Bone steaks looked awesome!
❤️❤️
ok again, somebody explain to me why the squids are wearing cammo??? they expecting to sail into a forest?
Probably the Jarheads

It’s a working uniform for mostly shore commands, security, Seabees, SO, show we are military, The navy has no true reason.
@@Slygolem1went to MEPS one time and met a retired master chief there, he was watching our USO room and I asked him about camo uniforms for the Navy, any suggestions if you could? He said along the lines, “ Really I have no clue because we’re at sea on a ship wearing blue camo, what’s if you fall over board and you camouflage into the water. And wearing green camo on a ship doesn’t really make sense to me but eh, out of all honesty I have no clue, factory gray or copy CG?”. I guess kinda agree?
As a Cs you slave yourself 14 hour days. duty section. You wake up and watch everyone come in and you watch everyone leave. You don’t get holiday routine. You have to come in on holidays. Worst rate ever
Yeah but someone has to do it, and you learn to cope if you’re the right person for it.
Is it true they work for 2 weeks straight and then they get 2 weeks off?
I’m a CS it’s not that bad honestly. Every rate has their up and downs. If you don’t have a passion for cooking then simply don’t choose this rate. It’s a easy rate and I made E-4 in one yr on a aircraft carrier.
True sis. I wanna be a military cook because I love cooking but literally everyone says it’s a bad career choice. Military benefits without any of the PTSD l lol.
I like cooking too and I was assigned to be a cs because of my low score but I will try to retest before I ship out if I get a higher score then I’ll pick something else if not then I’ll happily serve as a cs cuz I don’t hate cooking.
Made E-4 in one yr ? That’s fast
I was in Intel… the truth is CS is the most important person on the boat. If you know you know
What I loved about being in The Army as a Food Services Specialist, was that I got to go to the Cool Guy Schools, jump out of Airplanes and Helicopters, Fast Rope, SPIE Rig, Shoot,Move, Communicate, and even Cook Chow with You Swabbies on board the USS Enterprise. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY..... SUA SPONTE SUPERINTENSIFIED, RANGERS LEAD THE WAY.... LOL 😄😁😁!!
Did you have a seizure writing this?
I ran with the scouts when I wasn't cooking. I agree. I miss it too.
You were in the Army?
@yovannadiaz-riley333 yes.
I’m a QM seating on the command bridge with my team, captain, etc. What am I doing here???
Been a cs for 3 years it ain’t that bad
The most important servicemen on board.
Dont let this video fool you. Being a cullinary specialist i the navy is pure drudgery/ also everybody on the ship hates you because the food sucks, no matter how hard they try to make it a dcent meal
My uncle Marlin was a CS on a sub, been thinking about following in his footsteps, idk about the submarine part though.
Your uncle is a legend
Long hours and hard work in the beginning. Proceed with caution. I did it for 24 for years.
⚓⚓⚓
You’re everywhere man lol. Is it true they work for 2 weeks straight and then they get 2 weeks off?
I chose CS and I ship out September 13
All the best and a ton of good luck to you, Jazmine.
Thank you
I'm a really tuff mma type of guy But I never served in military. I can't even make wieght. I'm a killer.
This is the boss job in the Navy. You get a top secret clearance, you don't have to stand watch , don't have to wear a uniform, you're respected by everyone, even the top brass respects you. Your best friend with the master at arms. Coffee sir? Thank you. That's all you'll hear all day long.
Do you have to have any experience to be a cs?
Nope just go in and they’ll give you 5 weeks of training at advanced individual training
So can you go to college while in CS? it seen very tough.
Not full time especially if you're assigned to a shig
Josh Green but is still possible right? My rate is CSS
+walker john Not likely. your days will be extremely busy. Even if you do online school. On Deployment you don't get much time for yourself. But hey if you think you can go for it.
Josh Green wow, I might change my rate then but thank you
+walker john Have you spoke with a recruiter?
Where do i sign up at
Dont believe any of this
Don't be a CS I regret it ever day
Howcome
Why
Its alot of hard work, your off days are fucked, i show up to work at 430am and dont get out at 6pm. Your work is unappreciated. The crew eats chow and goes to work. No thank yous nothing. You can make your best dish but still someone wont like it.
@@jetyankeefan255 why did you choose to be a cook? did you choose it just because? or do you genuinely love cooking thats why you choose it?
Hail to the Chief They basically forced me to pick that job, told me it was the only job available for me. Which sucks since my scores were good enough for something else. But yeah i ship out Apr9
if you can operate a can opener you're hired
Need to get in the navy asap
No you don’t, don’t do it, save yourself
Where do you write from??
It’s not as fun as it looks or as easy
Hardest job in the military. I'm warning you.
Why you say that? If you love what you do and you’re passionate about it. I don’t think it’s hard. Hehe people have to remove that mentality . Without them y’all gonna starve .
Definitely not the hardest job in the military the hardest job is fr aviation
Thank you, CS!
Right except that they don’t do anything this video says most are lazy af and serve bad food
I’d be great full we get better food than the army at least 😂
Add a food truck for a incentive for cooks.
Ship out as a CSS April 8, 2021
5 days in how is it
I was gonna be a CS but I quit before I ever went to bootcamp because I was force to pick that job recruiters lied and made it like it was the best job on the ship they said u don’t only cook but ur also go to shore like they have a special group like swat he said with guns and all that 😂 after I did my research and asked around I got the truth it is one of the worst job overworked and underpay their just trying to meet their quota which I thought was funny because I scored high enough to enter the air force even scored higher than my recruiter do your research people before you join
How did you quit?
@@Vinesology you literally just ask it's characterized as an entry level separation though so good luck joining another branch.
Cooks with guns??? lol
When did they change it from mess specialist
Hoping to be there in a couple years. Wanna serve at least in some way and idk if im psychically up to standards even tho i would if I could. But I love to cook and I really wanna serve in some way or another and if I can fuel shipmates drive them with something they really enjoy and to keep them happy and healthy so they can preform their best.
Do Not Choose CS if you don’t LOVE cooking
My Dad was in the Navy, so I am thinking about enlisting but not the same job as him. He was communication in the Navy. I want to be culinary specialist

"I'm just a cook" -- Under Siege
De belangrijkste functie op ieder schip...'de kok'.
This video is such bs if the CS were actually like that we would have way more happy sailors
Navy's love their cooks even if the civilians see them as the lower rates.
Imma be a CS
Don't do it
Make sure you’re alright with the hard work, I loved my time but only cause it wasn’t as intense as I thought
It’s a trap. Replace the C with an I and that’s your go to rate
Don't do it. Worst job in the Navy. I did it for five years because I loved and still love to cook. However, the recruiters lie to you and make it seem like its way more exciting than what it really is. I scored high on my asvab, but like a dummy, still chose CS because I love cooking. That rate makes you feel unappreciated, undervalued, and overlooked. You're basically not even apart of the crew, you just work for them. Do yourself a favor and choose something else.
1:09 that's an unhappy crew right there
Im thinking of taking the cs since i love cooking.. my pledge is tommorow and im excited to do it.. im 32by now..
and how did it go?
@@justinsaez7he’s dying rn
I'd rather cook 🤧
