Army 92G · Culinary Specialist
The Army gave you its own language for the work you did. Civilian hiring managers don't speak it. We bridge that gap for you.

The Army describes 92G Culinary Specialist as cooking meals alongside chefs, preparing and serving meals in the field and at home stations, ordering and inspecting food supplies, and keeping the kitchen safe and sanitary. Civilian employers call that institutional cooking, kitchen operations, and food safety, which is why cooks, chefs, and food service managers are this page's matches.

Copy from your NCOERs or just type what you did as a Culinary Specialist Soldier, plus any real numbers.
We translate everything into civilian language and build the whole resume. Nothing invented.

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Army, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
