Question by Shawn G: 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.

Question by Lululu: Enlistment bonus (specifically education bonus)?
Hi.

I’m about to go down to the MEPS for physical, but my recruiter says there’s no bonus for my MOS (36B financial mgt. specialist). I qualify for education bonus for having a bachelors degree.

I’m kind eerie about the way my recruiter has been acting with me. First, he said that he had not seen the finance job become available for years and all of of sudden just days before physcial saying a slot opened up and it is the very last job available…like getting me all anxious about it and get me to sign when it was actually availabe before.

I get a feeling that he may be playing the same game with the bonus…it may be availbe but he’s holding that out on me. Should I stay firm and try to squeeze him for bonus?

Thank you.
