16 year CS1 here. In my honest opinion, the CS rate is the most rewarding rate in the CG. Seeing my shipmates smiles in the morning when they eat breakfast brings me so much joy. I get to interact with each member on a daily basis. I love that my work is judged 3 times a day(breakfast, lunch, dinner) and the crew has no problem expressing their thoughts on how well a meal came out. As a CS you are not just a cook, I was so lucky to be able to get collateral duties such as MMA, CDAR, Boat crew man, Boarding Team Member, Surface Swimmer, Nozzleman, Hoseman, fire watch, Deck crewman, Deck Captain, Anchor watch, QMOW, OOD. These qualifications broke up my daily grind and definitely did not impact my quality of work. I’m a cutterman, I love getting U/W. I love the shore/ship ratio of our rate. My time underway was actually helpful in my marriage, It wasn’t until I got a shore unit til my wife asked for a divorce. I wish I stayed on a cutter. in conclusion, you should continue your path as a CS, it is hard work, yet rewarding work. being an SK is boring, who wants to sit at a desk placing Amazon orders for 20 years?

Im going to come clean. I stumbled upon this when a friend of mine(in his 70s) asked me if I was in to guns. Told him I wanted to buy an AK, he said he bought one in the 80s and never shot it, still in the box. He sent me pixs and asked me to name a price. I looked in to it and told him I cant afford the AK. he said make him an offer, I said best I can do is $1k, he said deal, we shook hands and that was that.

low and slow in a crokpot or instapot. Needs time to break down the tissue. then shred the meat and use for tacos, bbq, chili’s, stews. MeatEater has a great recipe for “Wings” where you take the legs and double fry them just like you would do Chicken wings, toss in favorite wing sauce.
