      they know that the meals might well be part of the soldiers/sailors day that isn't total shit, so they take a hell of a lot of pride in making sure those few minutes are as good as they can be. It's not just what the men and women deserve, it's also vital for morale. There are literally hundreds of battles, whole wars even, that were won and lost because one side ran out of food.

      @@stevesmith1383. because the Air Force has so many more officers, with pilots, navigators weapons control officers, than the other branches, their food budget is so much more. As an Army sergeant, I was attached to the Air Force during Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. The truth is, the Army and Air Force buy their food from the same source, but the Air Force has so much more money to spend. Consider this: Unlike the Army and Marines, in the Air Force, the only ones who go out and fight every day, are the aircrews. They should at least eat well.

I loved the food, it was always the best! My first Thanksgiving away from home, I was depressed, first stop in chow line wasn't the normal staff, I looked to see a full bird colonel serving me!

I typically mostly use onions for caramelising so I might do about 10 cuts on each half of a medium sized onion with the root section facing away from me, then flip it 90 degrees and cut it another two times. What I'm trying to say is that I cut the onion alot but because knife is sharp there is no crying... good stuff.

      My Dad was Ships Cook 1c on a light cruiser (10,000tons, 1200 men) during WWII. They took pride in their Boston Baked Beans. It was bacon, onions, beans, molasses, brown sugar, mustard powder, and tomato paste.
      As the beans cooked, the would not be stirred to avoid baking them. They were not salted in the pan to avoid making the hulls tough. They would use a gallon can and drain liquid from the bottom-pour spot on the kettle, and pour the juice over the top to baste them every 15 or 20 minutes.
      Could substitute the Mustard powder and tomato paste with ketchup and salad mustard in a pinch? I suppose, maybe...in a pinch... but you are then adding a dose of vinegar from those products, so I guess you could expect a certain tanginess to the end product. Maybe that's why they're "Italian" baked beans, and opposed to good old Boston or Southern style beans?

They work their asses off and they keep the force going! I went army after navy and it's true for the cooks in the army as well. Good job you all and Thank you Master Chief if you read this for being you! I hope you have a great retirement! and to all the CS's and cooks, you all rock! Thank you for trying to keep us motivated with your food! personally, if anyone reads this from CVN 75 Truman mess crew from 2004 to 2008, Thanks you all for cooking our food but also joking with us while you all cooked!

    Served 26 years in the Navy and retired in 2016 as a Senior Chief. When I joined in 1990, our Culinary Specialists (CS's) were still known as Mess Specialists (MS's). Over the years there are a few groups of Sailors you always treat right and don't piss off - your medical staff, your pay staff, your IT staff and your food staff.
    Breakfast was ALWAYS the best meal of the day in the Navy and one I still miss to this day. Can't count the number of meals I ate over the years onboard ship or on base. It is amazing the great food that can be prepared for our Sailors with a limited budget, storage area and personnel. I can't remember a single day in my career that I ever went hungry or didn't get a meal.
    If you are impressed with The USS New York, you should try getting onboard an aircraft carrier and see the lengths those cooks go through to pump out 15-20 thousand meals, EVERY DAY! Simply amazing.

The biggest pride the cooks had was putting on a special meal while were underway during Thanksgiving and Christmas. They really shined. The turkey diners were excellent. And yes the cooks worked their asses off, and the seamen who assisted them were constantly doing dishes. I could never do it standing on my feet all day long. Thank you for your dedication to the food service division and the job you did. You were the moral booster and allowed everyone to come together and enjoy the food you prepared while underwater for 70 days at a time.

    I’ve been in the navy for 13 years and never been on a ship. I think that manning the rails in New York and Pearl Harbor is one of the most incredible things for a person to be a part of. Hopefully, before I checkout, I can somehow be a part of it.

    I think Frank is one of the best hosts around for a show. He is so respectfull in every video.
    He always keeps his cool.

      butthurt? What makes you think that? I don't care who works there, and the world would be a better place without a lot of armed forces around. I just read the comment of Baby Fink differently then Chief Captn does. Is that illegal?

    I've met many service folks who told me the culinary specialists (cooks/chefs) are the most important crew on any ship or base.
