Shout out to Coast Guard Senior Chief Edward Fuchs for his invaluable partnership with the American Culinary Federation (ACF). His 15+ year relentless dedication to improving and supporting the Culinary Specialist (CS) rating through education has resulted in a significant certification for Coast Guard CSs upon their A-School graduation. His efforts included site visits, the validation of the CG CS3 practical factors by the ACF, and many collaborative meetings between the Culinary Services Division COMDT (CG-1K13), FORCECOM, and education representatives from the ACF. Thanks to these efforts, the CS A-School has gained accreditation as a certification site for Certified Fundamentals Cook, providing more comprehensive education for CG CSs in line with industry standards. Indeed, his commitment and hard work are shaping the future of our culinary specialists.
