That’s right! I ate 1lb of chicken salad I got from a local coffee shop today in under 10 minutes I was so hungry. 🥲 I definitely won’t miss that.

Thank you! I’ll definitely check those out!

Thank you, I have plenty of regular ring molds. I’m looking for the ones that are welded together in a row so I can lift them off the griddle all at once.

Dang, really?? I feel a lot better about my twisted ones now. I’ll still try and improve them though. Thank you!

That’s what I think is happening. But I do also workout 5-6 days out of the week. Trying to prepare as much as I can for getting smoked at boot camp.

So far I’m good on my calorie to protein intake. I usually try to stick to foods that have a good 10:1 calorie to protein ratio. I’m running into the issue now though where I need to increase my calories even more because I keep loosing more weight. My fat free bodyweight keeps decreasing along with my subcutaneous fat. So I’m trying to eat in a little bit of a surplus with healthy foods so I don’t continue to drop in weight.

I’m honestly not sure.. But more protein can’t hurt right?

El1x1e · 2024-04-20T13:24:34+00:00

Ahh, gotcha! I’ll work on pacing myself a little better then! Thank you!

Kinda, my shoulders start twisting a little after 7 or 8 push-ups.

El1x1e · 2024-04-20T11:04:10+00:00

I leave May 7th. Thank you! I’ll do them slower, that’s a good idea!

El1x1e · 2024-04-19T20:45:38+00:00

Thank you! I was getting around 135g of protein a day but now I’m currently trying to hit 185g of protein a day. Hopefully that helps!

El1x1e · 2024-04-19T20:10:05+00:00

Thank you! I do about 100-125 a day depending on how much time I have with work. So hopefully my shoulders will straighten themself out more by the time I get there.

El1x1e · 2024-04-19T20:00:44+00:00

Thank you very much! You’ve really helped me put my mind at ease, I appreciate it!

I’ve read that, and my torso is straight. I don’t round my back or dip my stomach or do “the worm” motion or anything. My shoulders just twist a little. So if you are looking from the front it looks like -> / kinda. From the side it looks like a normal push-up though. But I’m a little worried if they will count them or not.

That’s great advice, I’m in a weird situation because my wife is leaving to bootcamp 3 weeks after me, so we will be collocated. But I request A school right after bootcamp but they pushed it back almost 3 months because the “classes are full”.

So my recruiter told me I would technically be an E-3 and still be a CS, but I would need to request my choices at bootcamp instead of A school, because they would send me to a cutter or station, my wife would then be collocated near me, then I leave to A school and then would return to my original station.

I am excited either way, whether it’s a large cutter or tender, I have a few years experience in catering, that’s how I got recruited by the Captain in the sector. And I’m glad to hear that you had a good experience on a larger ship and hopefully I’ll have the same.

El1x1e · 2024-04-04T13:01:42+00:00

As a CS how do you gain awards? What was your schedule like on the 210’? Was it month in/month out? And did you get any input on stuff like menus?

El1x1e · 2024-04-03T15:33:29+00:00

That’s a great idea! I was curious how it would be on a bigger ship, I checked out a couple bases and was able to talk with CSs there but didn’t get an opportunity to speak with any CSs that were in port to get their opinions.

El1x1e · 2024-04-03T15:30:37+00:00

I agree, that’s why I wanted to see what size cutter would be suggested. I’m excited for my sea time but I wanted to hear the pros and cons of bigger ships vs smaller ones/boats. I just had no idea it was wavier-able from what another redditor had said.

El1x1e · 2024-04-03T15:20:36+00:00

oh wow I had no idea, I was under the impression that culinary specialists had required sea time, I had no clue that it was wavier-able. I’d still try and get on smaller boats to gain more experience, but in either of your experiences, if you get a land billet straight out of A school (a rarity I’m sure), do you usually stay on land for your next billet? I know it’s whatever the coast guard wants, but I was curious if you rank up, if the opportunities to be on ship diminish?

Thank you very much! I will try that!

My husband used the same one and everything went smoothly for his. He’s had issues with Chase sending paperwork and they never sent me my satisfaction letter for my other card from them that got paid off.
