 CSSR Ballora Blake, I'm stationed on the 4, I've only been there for about a month going on to 2, so this is completely new for me. This week I went to a class where Chef Ponder taught us how to not just cook the right way, bake the right way, but also how to be ourselves, how to create our own business and accomplish our dreams. I'm calling a specialist senior chief, Jewel Dyson. I have been stationed on board USS Gerald R. Ford for five years in the role as the leading CS. I met Chef Ponder at an event that he was holding and in conversation found out that he was once an MS in the United States Navy and that was our rate before we converted over to CS. Every day I've seen them grow in ways that I can't explain or describe, I'm just hoping that they stay as motivated and they take it back to the ship. They be able to show the ship and the crew what they've learned and how they can appreciate who they are and where they are and do the very best that they can at all times. I'm Chef Jacobi Ponder, I'm a 10-year Navy veteran and Chef Premier Academy is kind of an institution that I developed the curriculum to teach sailors, to teach everybody on not just to be cooks in the military but to be owner operators and entrepreneurs. My technique of teaching is teaching them what's internal versus what you can get outside. I think that they have a new attitude of ownership coming in a galley and owning it and I'm asking if they're E1, do E6 or whatever the case is in this industry it's not about rank again it's about value so I think they're going to come back to the ship with a lot more value and it's going to reflect on morale for the sailors I think.
