Day in the life of a Navy Culinary Specialist

[@Station7Jason]

Nahhh the karaoke got me man and I got a crazy story 😂 we do the same thing on MCM-10 (a minesweeper) we had one dude destroying Amarillo By Morning, well our CO’s Uncle is actually George Strait, he walked by hearing that mess, peaked in and said WAIT UNTIL I TELL HIM HM2, you just WAIT….no BS, the King himself recorded a video for the crew the very next day and he has us crying while he reacted to the video CO had taken of the singing, coolest thing ever.

I was in the airwing on the USS Coral Sea mid eighties working the flight deck with our f-18"s AO here , Good chow was a great morale booster for the whole ship , Thanks for what you do !

I was on the coral sea when in the late 70's when about you

@@user-ii8cs9fm1g I did one med-cruise with cag 13 and my squadron VFA-131 Wildcats sept-87 thru march 88 , Great times and memories !

More videos please!! I’ll be going to boot camp 5/6 and I’m watching sooo much Navy content to prepare myself for what my life will be like for the next few years.

I was a cook in navy on aircraft carriers cooking for 2000 or more every day and steel beach picnic 's alot work you basically serve 4 meal a day been a meat cutter baker and running main galley unrep is one our hardest days

[@b2b111079]

I searched Navy cook, as my dad told me my great grandfather was a ships cook for his whole life. How ironic that your last name is Arteaga as this the town name next to where he was born in Spain.

Everyone knows that Boatswain's Mates are the morale of the Navy. They see us walking through the passageways, with our hand crafted leather sheaths and Marlin Spikes gleaming. They see us heroically heaving around and bringing them happiness in the form of letters, packages and food from the supply ship alongside. They excitedly watch us with anticipation as we moore our ship to the pier in exotic locations across the world. They sing along to the melodiies of our Boatswain's Pipes as we prepare to allow the captain to speak into our microphone. They sleep peacefully in their racks at night, slowly rocked to sleep by the gentle sway of the ship, because they know a skillful helmsman is in control. Boatswain's Mates are the pride of the Navy. Thank you Boatswain's Mates.⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓

QM’s are better

[@asianinvasion5527]

CS’s are better

[@WestSideGangsta]

Thank you for your service

[@DHDRonin]

man i wish my galley was that big lol
im on a sub though

[@WestSideGangsta]

Nice kitchen, which resturant is it?

[@Me-eb3wv]

Dream job, especially on a smaller boat. Being a CS on an aircraft Carrier seems like complete hell

[@2138Dude]

Not really, you are not alone there you have a dozen of cooks in shifts

[@aznpersuazn]

Consider becoming a CSS ✌🏽

[@Dudditz_TTV]

@@2138Dudenot really. He clearly has common sense to know that being a CS on an aircraft carrier is actually hell. Don’t lie to him. It’s literally the dumping grounds for shitbags in the Navy. It is also literally the ONLY job that ANYBODY can get with any ASVAB. The IQ of the average CS is roughly a 7. Majority of the suicide on my ship were people who worked with or as a CS. Shit is a ghetto ass nightmare.

[@grantbeckering4386]

Wish you best of luck CS1, sad to see you go.

[@arteagaa95]

Thank you I'll see you mam 🫶🏼

[@alohakamanawanaleiu4996]

We signed up to do a job. Don’t need your sympathy.

[@arteagaa95]

No problem 🙂🙂

[@anthonymoreno2910]

Keep up the work🫡

[@NewarkBrickCity1970]

FSAs? Please! The term is MESS CRANK!

[@annacastillo755]

I heard you barely have freedom. You don’t get to go explore much!!

[@keyondablackman2678]

CS3 here and we work the least amount of days but we do work longer hours than any other rate

[@Bunny-San986]

On average how many days a week do you work? ​@@keyondablackman2678
