What is the best branch of the military to join to become a chef?

I am looking to join the military in the future and i was wondering which branch would be best (pay/benefits) as far as cooking/becoming a chef.


All answers will be taken into consideration...Thanks!|||The Navy. You absolutely, positively will get a great deal of experience cooking. If you can qualify for submarine duty that would be the best. Only a couple cooks are assigned to prepare meals for the whole crew. The submarines get the very best groceries to work with too.





The Air Force does have the best chow, but it's ALL cooked by civilian employees at the bases in the US and overseas.|||If you go in the Air Force you will not be guaranteed to cook. They have one career field that includes barbers and mortuary services along with food service people. You could find yourself cutting hair or preparing bodies of the dead for burial. I'm sure you don't believe me... ask. I'm right.

|||To become an actual highend chef you are going to have to go to school at some point. You will not join the military and be just a chef. If other branches are like the Air Force you will be in a services squadron and be trained as a chef (working at the chow hall), a lodging manager (hotel manager), a mortician assistant, or some one that maintains the base gym. There are many jobs that are encompassed in the services profession. For instance, you could be missile chef where you will have your own kitchen but be out in the missile fields for 3-4 days at a time or you could just be a chef at the chow hall. In order to get promoted you will have to be trained and have experience in 3 of the above disciplines with in services. Buuuuut, there is always a buuuut. If you join the Air Force and excell at your job there are oportunities out there that can get you a high end chef job. There are Air Force services Airmen that are stationed in DC (including Air Force One) and are the chefs for the POTUS. I can not speak for other services, but i would not imagine they arent too far off from how the Air Force does things. Any questions shoot me an email.|||The pay and benefits are the exact same with every service. I'll tell you not to join the Marines if you want to cook, we pretty much hire civilians in that area. And when we go to the field all the cooks do is take a can and drop it in boiling water for however long, open the can, and serve it to us.|||I can only speak for Officers- I vote Air Force. While the troops were having franks and beans, we had a choice of Lobster, prime ribs, veal cordon bleau- for lunch.|||Your going to be on ships all the time in the Navy and cooking for hundreds of people so I'd say Navy.|||I've heard being a chef in the Navy is rewarding...|||money and benefits will be the same. air force has the best chow.|||all branches are paid the EXACT same :)
