Navy cooks

I was just reading an article about a cook-off involving cooks on Navy ships. Their rating was called a Culinary Specialist, or CS. I was in the Navy many moons ago, and I don’t recall that designation. What was their official title years ago?

Danged if I can remember! So I’ll hang around and find out.
Something mate. Not mess mate. Hmmm
:smack:

This recent news release from the Navy says

Mess Management Specialist?

Commissaryman, that’s it.
Back in the day, at any rate. :wink:
