Chef Janie,
Working out of a ships galley is very unique. I have worked on ships from an aircraft carrier to a destroyer in size and each one is a little different. You really need to have time management down and always stay flexible due to shipboard evolutions and limited space. Especially out to sea food is everything to the crew. I hope you have the opportunity to visit a Navy ship and work with the CS's onboard. Again "Happys Veterans Day" to all!

John,
Reading your comments I see you visited the CS school. I tried emailing the Senior Chief at the school, but haven't had any response back. I know everything constantly changes and I would really love to be able to visit the school and just find out more as to how things are going. Chef if you have good contact info could you forward it on to me, especially if its an email address.
Thanks.

It's been nearly a year since I did my 10 days at sea. I think about that experience every week. I wonder what menus they are running and the challenges they have.

I visited the Culinary School at Great Lakes several months ago and saw the facilitities where sailors train to become CS's and got an overview of the short time they are exposed to formal education. They learn at sea as the those before them. So whatever you can do to support this program even pushing letters on a key board to spread the word it is welcome

I will take advantage of this opportunity again in the future. If you can't make the trip to Japan as I did, there are still plenty of opportunities to support at home. Contact Michael and so you can experience as Mark puts it "see the haze grey and be underway".

Once again lets thanks Michael and remember this is the most memorable and meaningful continuing education hours you will ever experience.
