I'm looking to go back into the Army and choosing an MOS. I've found 68M but keep on seeing different versions of what they actually do. I'd rather not end up just being a cook that works in a hospital rather than a DFAC.

I was a 68M in the Army Reserve for 7 years and part of a CSH Unit. Since our unit had no Dietician, we spent all our time I the kitchen as a 92G.

In the reserves it’s a lot harder to do the duties of a 68M and my unit and our sister unit spent most of our time in the kitchen as a 92G.

Unfortunately, it falls to wherever the need arises. If you’re needed in a hospital, hospital is where you’ll go and vice versa.

In most cases at junior ranks you will be cooking in the Hospital DFAC. Depending on locations you may find yourself on shift work cooking through your NCO ranks as well.
