How Army Cooks Are Trained To Feed 800 Soldiers In The Field | Boot Camp | Business Insider

I spent 20 years as an Army cook, first starting as a 94B then we changed to 92G. In the beginning it was tough do to doing everything from scratch, which in the field REALLY SUCKED, but taught me valuable lessons. Like after jump school, jump Master school, and spending time in a Ranger Battalion before and after Sept 11th. That was the greatest unit I was ever in. We were Rangers first and cooks second, but back in big Army no one cared about us til it was field time or during deployments when we controlled the chow. All in all it had good and bad times, but glad I did it.

I, started and end my army life as a ( spoon) cook. It was a great challenge but, it help my in my love of cooking. I am cook at hospital, in the city I live in. Plus, I make 95% of the meals at home. The other 5% is out to eat when I just don't feel like cooking. I, hope you all thank a cook when you went thur the chow. I know all jobs in the Army are important, and we all have challenge that we went thur. But, a cook you get early and stay for long periods of time. I, know sucks for the personal in the field. But sucks more for the cook.
