  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.

  “If we can’t be honest with the person we are doing them a disservice”<br><br>We need guys like this in public school

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

  No joke, I love watching military cooking as much as navy seal or special forces videos. They are crucial to our military.

  I was active duty Army from 06-12 i served in Iraq and we had a very small Dining Facility connected to our airfield. They fed us like kings in there. A good cook can immensely boost the morale of a unit. Thank you to all the cooks across all branches.

  “It’s heavily seasoned so your taste buds can go on a trip.”<br><br>That had me dying laughing …

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

  Oh. My. God. These kids are starting from zero. These instructors have infinite patience. There would be casualties if I had to teach how to make spaghetti and saw those plates.

  So sad... the trainee at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96Ol2RQNPSw&amp;t=1372">22:52</a> died in April of 2025.. &nbsp;(I did a search to find out where in the fleet these guys may have ended up and was shocked to find his obituary.) Trey Shawver. RIP. Thank you for your naval service.

  &quot;We prefer people with no culinary experience&quot; Amen. I recall almost thirty years ago on my first day of five years at Culinary School/Hells Kitchen in Europe, Chef said with a straight face: &quot;Forget everything you thought you learned from any body and do as you are told, when we are done with you , you can make your own bad habits&quot; I loved that school and our &quot;Masters&quot; as they are called there. <br>They taught us discipline, self reliance, excellence and innovation.

  I remember after 9 months in Afghanistan getting on the USS Lexington to go home. It was 4am and I was alone in the dinette and a navy cook came and asked me if I wanted breakfast. He made me the best steak and eggs Ive ever eaten in my whole life. Thank you Navy for taking care of us devil dogs. Semper Fi
