I want to serve in the Army and continue my culinary education?
I have a kid from my hometown who is rated the number one cook in the military. He has made it far, cooking for kings of other ocuntries and our President.
My loyalties are country #1 and my culinary career #2. I saw on the site that the Army competes every year in the Culinary Olympics and The Culinary World Cup and have a culinary team.
Some people in this forum have told me that if you are a cook in the Army it won't carry anymore weight than working at McDonalds and it is dead end. No future.
can someone with some actual first hand knowledge share in detail what they know about MOS Food Service Specialist. I was also consdiering Hospital Food Service Specialist. They say you get more into nutrition and diet more so than just Food Service Spec. I see they are in heavy deman for these slots in the Army (thus I'm sure the large bonus they offer-which plays no role in my choice-although it is a perk). Any advice?

It is what you make of it. If you approach it as a "job" then it's not going to do much.
But-
If you approach it as a career (or career enhancement tool), then you can go far!!
You will be encouraged to pursue your education, and grow and learn to be the subject matter expert in your field.
Go for it!!
The Army Culinary team is very prestigious, and they compete all over the country and overseas in major culinary competitions. You can learn the Hospital Food Service stuff as a regular cook also, so that's up to you.

I'm in the Army & don't really understand why everyone else isn't too, but for this particular career field, don't join the Army. The Navy would be much better in this one area.

you can join and pursue the career of your choice--take all the courses you can--smart go getters move up in rank fast--if you settle for k.p. duty thats all you'll ever be---apply(if your grades are good)to officer candidate school---be the man in charge of the dieticians-- get to know the other officers-- some call it brown nosing---i call it getting what you want---good luck--once a soldier always a soldier

Cooks seem like contractors to me. They aren't always well appreciated in the army. Long story.
