I was not, will never be a cook, but it gives me second hand embarrassment on how many people spout this non sense. Seems like every combat support MOS has a weird fetish for not being cooks but also being “basically cooks but with trucks or the worst offenders, the water purification specialist.

Unless your MOS code is 92G (The alphas can defend themselves) then you are not a cook.

It doesn’t matter what you did in the dfaq. It doesn’t matter if you humped MREs. Have pride in the MOS you chose (or don’t) and quit trying to embellish your suck factor by saying basically a cook.

I don’t know how many 11wokebois met who say “my MOS is 11Wokeboi but I never did that job, I was basically just another burger flipper with the cooks” sounds like you just suck at your job and they just wanted you to leave the dfaq. If you are a cook, or have worked closely with them, then you’ll quickly notice the difference between a good combat support element and literally anybody trying to do that same thing as effectively.
