I also have years in the military some old years when I was a EW geek, and the last time after 9/11 when they made me a cook because of my hearing waiver caused by the FIRST time I was in. ;)

Being a cook in the military taught me more management, more logistics, and more intel management than I learned in my former spooky careers as military and later as military contractor.

Spec ops eats at the dining facility when they are home. ;)

I'd rather be a cook. You get a lot of the same skill sets, including knife skills (3 months worth in civilian culinary school in my case), life-saving skills, life taking skills, logistics, and SPs drive you to the barracks and tuck you in when you've had enough beer for the evening.

I'm more proud of being a cook than an Old Crow.

Darn- Some people have all the luck! All I did was jump out of airplanes, freeze my bum off in weird places in the world, and eat worms and Opla. :)
