Message From D11 and D14 Culinary Support Branch Rep Master Chief Vernon Joiner

CSB Contacts? Who are your Culinary Support Branch Reps?

Good morning CO’s, OIC’s, and FSO’s

The Subsistence Product Line Culinary Support Branch (CSB) is now at Initial Operating Capability (IOC) with CSCM Vernon Joiner as the representative for District 11 and 14.

CSB will provide remote administrative and technical assistance to the Coast Guard’s Culinary Specialists (CS) and their Commands in the complex operations of Coast Guard Dining Facilities (CGDF). CSB will be available for technical assistance, systematic oversight, and provide units with tools for continuous improvement by providing ongoing support and mentorship. In addition, on site assistance visits will be available at the request of the command or FSO. CSB will be proactive in identifying units that require in person assistance through ongoing analysis and communications with Commands. Commands can request the CSB to conduct an unscheduled on-site Technical Assistance Visit if there are questions/concerns about the Dining Facility operations. Funding shall be provided by the requesting unit if an on-site visit is requested.
