Petty Officer 1st Class Zach Hassilev, the 17th Coast Guard District special command aide, has been in the Coast Guard for 13 years as a Culinary Specialist (CS) and has worked aboard four different cutters, and currently works ashore.
“It's surprising to me that less people want to do this job,” said Hassilev. “If you look at the trend of the culinary industry, the Coast Guard CS rating is a great program because of its culinary schools. Lots of people in the culinary industry are underpaid and overworked. That's why I personally joined because there was room for education and growth as a cook to launch you further into the culinary world.”
Hassilev believes that the Coast Guard works to align itself with the civilian workforce and puts a lot of emphasis into human resources and operational structure. As a cook, Hassilev states, you can be on a big, white boat and do law enforcement, or you can cater your career around what's important to you.
