Culinary Specialist (abbreviated CS) is a United States Navy and United States Coast Guard occupational rating. The Navy rating was created on January 15, 2004 from the Mess Management Specialist (MS) rating.
The U.S. Coast Guard replaced its previously named Food Service Specialist (FS) rating with Culinary Specialist on January 6, 2017 in order to "accurately reflect the culinary skills and professional expertise held by members of the rating".
