The cooks and bakers of the armed services are truly the "unsung heroes" of the military. No longer worthy of names as "stewburner," "gutrobber" or "hash burner," today's cook works long hours, producing quality meals for the crew.

And their work is never complete. Air Force, Army, Marine, Navy and Coast Guard food service personnel are on the job seven days a week. Many galleys and mess halls have the lights on 16 or more hours each day.

Holiday routine for the crew doubles the work load for the cooks. But the cooks don't complain. Thanksgiving and Christmas gives them a chance to show their stuff and produce a spread worthy of 5 stars.

These stories tell of the hard work of military food service personnel.
