How Navy Cooks Are Trained To Feed 5,000 Sailors On Aircraft Carriers | Boot Camp | Business Insider

The Navy trains 3,900 new culinary specialists every year at the Navy Culinary Specialist "A" School at Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia. Students learn the importance of sanitation and nutrition, techniques of cookery, small-quantity baking, and culinary math. Their training culminates during Galley Week when the students spend a week preparing meals in a kitchen environment similar to what they will find on Navy vessels. Once they graduate, new culinary specialists will spend three to five years preparing meals at sea, deploying for up to nine months at a time.

"You got no flavor on this plate" I have no idea Gordon Ramsey was in the Navy.

As a veteran, a good cook who cares and someone who doesn't give a shit is the difference between me having a good 9 month or a bad 9 month deployment.

[paulcrowdis]

That instructor is really good. Honest and up front with them and very encouraging. He is a real asset to the military.

[dmhammonds]

I see my daughter! One proud Dad here❤❤

[Heist]

“It’s heavily seasoned so your taste buds can go on a trip.”

That had me dying laughing …

[volairn]

One of the things you learn in the military, is that to be an instructor, any branch mind you, you have to end every sentence with "right?"

[zomblog]

Never hate/disrespect the people cooking food for you. They literally keeping you alive!

[funkndavid]

Respect my cooks. When you’re on a field op for two weeks and eating straight MRE’s getting doodoo guts from the Chili Mac, a cooked meal from our food service Marines was heavenly.

My father was a Navy cook for 20 years from 1943-1963. He then went on to open the first Jack-In-The-Box restaurant in Texas after the Navy. He worked there for 30 years. Pop passed away in 1998.

Speaking as a military veteran (USMC, '74-'80, Cpl/E-4) I have to express my max respect for CS1 Reid. He holds his sailors to the highest standard, accepts no excuses, maintains proper military bearing at all times, and exhibits all the qualities of leadership. I hope he makes Chief soon.

[camelbro]

This man is doing so much more for these kids than teaching them to cook. He is shaping these boys and girls. An unbelievable display of mentorship and leadership. I'm blown away

[cobishome]

"it's not great but it's not good" 😂

[Overlycomplicatedswede]

The instructor here is excellent, encouraging, honest and professional.

[quantasium]

Remember, most of them just got out of bootcamp, so they’re still on edge.

[befrugalwithus]

My late Grandpa did this for air force. His food was amazing good. Thanks to all of the new chefs.

[podsmpsg]

They needed to hear everything the instructor said to them. Criticism is totally okay, as long it's constructive.

That instructor looks legit. Looks like a humble dude, constructive criticism. That's a good leader. I'm glad the majority of my instructors were like that.

[bigusdallastexamas]

Culinary Specialist Ladson seems rock solid. She's leadership material for sure. Well done sailor.

[brianloughnane]

When I was a soldier I really appreciated all the effort the cooks put into getting us fed. Many times they were regularly up before us or working overnight.

[HowdIEvenGetHere]

That trainer is spicy! He’s a good teacher
