I was a submarine Quartermaster, a discontinued rate, as QMs are now restricted to surface craft. But as a merchant seaman after getting out I took a break from shipping out as an AB deckhand on large merchant freighters, to work as the 1st mate and chief cook on a larger Feadship motor yacht, or really a 90 footer which today is small for that shipyard in Holland, but I kind of liked being a sea cook because I knew so many recipes my mom had taught me plus as a professional canoe tripping guide up in Canada I had to feed the kids cooking over a wood fire using mostly freeze dried and canned food but also whatever fish we caught. But what I learned in the merchant marine is that CS is one of the best rates for becoming a civilian mariner because you can go straight into the merchant ships as chief cook and skip being steward’s assistant or really dish-washer entirely. And you’re not on the watch-bill so you get to sleep most the night as the Chief Steward is the one who cooks the eggs to order for the crew. The chief steward is really the supply officer who orders all of the food. In terms of the yacht industry you’d be most marketable if you were an ex Engineman or really a Diesel Tech but it’s too late for that as I’m now a retired old fossil. To become a cook in the merchant marine contact the Seafarers International Union, Camp Springs, Maryland to apply to attend their cooking school or else to ship out as a steward’s assistant which probably requires no training but merely a food handlers endorsement on you Mariner’s Document or Z-Card which is issued by the Coast Guard once they’ve seen your transcript of sea service from the navy which is kept on file at the Federal Records Center in St. Louis, MO.
I'm seventeen and signed up a week ago. Shipping out in July as a CS.
Not really what I wanted but I'm glad I am taking the steps to serve the Navy.
Glad to hear the positives. 😁
How do you like it?
@alexandermorse1306 I had a petty officer change my rate to YN before shipping out. There's quotas for specific rates, so don't let them convince you to remain in CS if you don't want it.
How's the navy? Idk i was separated after graduation due to a screw up at meps and having to get a waiver that was denied.
Boot camp was fun tho. I would honestly do it again if i could, lol.
One of the rates that you can get out and immediately get a career! Hospitality jobs are never going away!
I'm currently in A- school right now and I bump into your videos to look for Culinary Specialist Math. Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting. Thank you.
Man, you shoulda picked YN! My lady was a CS though.
former chef before joining the navy I'm an AG now looking back on it i wish i chose my passion for cooking than getting into the meteorology field. still love what i do but my real passion will always be being a chef.
I feel you. My passion is cooking so that’s why I’m interested in becoming a military cook
thanks for sharing! I chose as cs in navy too. I will ship in January 2020.
wrong day. will be ship 2022 ...
@@TheChefTaste damn bro fr? What day I chose CS to I will be ship out january 4 2022
I was a CS3 SW/AW when i was in the Navy.
Im shipping on april 11th as a CS. Ive always wondered as a CS, do you get to travel too on deployments?
I would love to be a chef and work for Ramsey group after the navy
Can you post about good side of CS
My son is talking to a recruiter and he’s a senior was gonna look into culinary school at a community college but is now thinking about a cs in the navy. I guess I’m wondering what would be his best option. Thanks from Texas
I think the biggest thing is doing enough research for both the community College culinary school and being part of the military and seeing what the best option is for him.
Military for sure. Not only will he be trained for free, but after leaving the military he will have his GI bill available
What’s the 5 and 2 schedule?

True
Do you know what ASVAB score is required to be a CS?
I honestly don't know. Sorry.
32
how can I get e3 to E4 as a CS ?
You can promote in any rates in the Navy
How u like this job it’s one of the jobs looking at beside a corpsman
I like it for the most part. Theres good and bad to every rate. Even if you don't know how to cook, you'll learn eventually.
@@arteagaa95 is it hard?
Do you still like being a CS?
The more rank you make the less cooking you do. I enjoy cooking every once in a while but wouldn't be able to do it daily like the junior guys. It takes a tole on you bur I never regret choosing this rate.
