Message From D13 and D17 Culinary Support Branch Rep Senior Chief Mason Champlin

CSB Contacts? Who are your Culinary Support Branch Reps?

Good Day D13 & D17 FSOs and Commands,

The Subsistence Product Line Culinary Support Branch (CSB) is now at Initial Operating Capability (IOC) with CSCS Mason Champlin as the representative for Districts 13 and 17 units.

As future members of the CSB report we will announce their area of responsibility and units supported.

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.

Over the next four weeks I will be reaching out to you individually.  I look forward to getting to know you all.  In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with any issues.  Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and have a great weekend!!!
