I'm working on a Warrant packet and want a clearer picture of what I'd be doing if selected/pass WOC/WOBC

Are there any Food Service Warrants, especially if one the NG or Reserve side, who would be willing to elaborate on what their day-to-day responsibilities are like?

I was not a culinary warrant officer, but I have this to share that might tell you a little about what it's like to be one. Back in about 1985 I was stationed at Ft. Hood with the 6th Cavalry Brigade (Air Combat) which had a lot of helicopter and warrant officers. Naturally in a unit like that I assumed that all the warrant officers there were aviation warrants. One night as the brigade officer of the day, I went thru the mess hall and asked the senior NCO to show me around a bit, a sort of informal inspection. The next day a man came to our S3 section at brigade HQ to talk to me about the inspection the night before. He was in what appeared to be civilian clothes, and nobody in the HQ building knew who he was. Turns out he was the warrant officer in charge of the dining facility. My point is, do your job well and nobody messes with you. In fact, nobody knows who you are.

When I first start my career in the USAR, I had a COW 2, who was in change of our mess section. I, know did all the order of the food for drill weekend, MOS training, common task training, order for Annual Training, he had to working with the office core if they had any off site training. So, that all I can remember my Chief during. I start back in 1986. I, did not have a Chief in the NG. Sorry, I can be more help. Best of luck. Your doing the right way being a NCO first, than going to the other side.

A Chief directly running the mess is a surprise. To my knowledge, theres only 3 Food Service Warrant slots in the entirety of my states Ay Guard. And thats eith 3 brigade sized elements.
