 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Tyrell Morris. Naval Supply Systems Command developed a professional training plan that allows culinary specialists to earn a professional chef certification. The strategic initiative began in 2011 and involves over-the-shoulder training from Navy chefs and culinary instructors. The hands-on training guarantees CESs are able to cook healthy meals from scratch that contribute directly to sailor quality of life and morale. Sailors who complete the training receive a diploma and continuing education credits from the Culinary Institute of America. The Navy's more than 7,300 CESs deployed around the globe feed more than 92 million meals per year. Their service ensures the Navy's fighting forces operated peak performance and are ready to respond to threats worldwide.
