Ney Award for food service excellence is given annually to Navy galleys of each category of ship and shore commands. The objective is to improve the quality of life for Navy personnel and recognize the best general galleys in the Navy.<br \/>\u201cThis award is truly a testament to the hard work and dedication that our Supply Department Sailors put into their work every single day,\u201d said Capt. Daryle Cardone, Ronald Reagan\u2019s commanding officer. \u201cThese Sailors continuously hold themselves to the highest standard of performance in every aspect of their work, taking the time and care to ensure everything they do is just right. The food service division absolutely earned this award and I\u2019m extremely proud of their efforts.\u201d<br \/>Ronald Reagan underwent a thorough inspection of their food service division, which evaluated the criteria for the award, including: cleanliness, food quality, organization, inventory, galley presentation, and culinary specialist job efficiency.<br \/>\u201cWinning the Ney award among the entire CVN fleet is a huge deal,\u201d said Cmdr. Gene Lattus, Ronald Reagan\u2019s supply officer. \u201cIt\u2019s a testament to the day in, day out hard work and dedication of Ronald Reagan and Carrier Air Wing 5 culinary specialists, as well as the crew that supports them.\u201d<br \/>The international Food Service Executive Association co-sponsors the Ney Memorial Awards Program, which is meant to incentivize excellent food service within the Navy, increasing morale and well-being for all in the fleet.<br \/>\u201cTo me, the Ney Memorial Award is the highest achievement given to the food service team,\u201d said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Leah Caser, Ronald Reagan\u2019s food service officer. \u201cIt is a privilege because not all ships are given a chance to receive this prestigious award.\u201d<br \/>This award marks the Ronald Reagan\u2019s second since 2017.<br \/>\u201cMany people think that the heartbeat of the aircraft carrier is the flight deck. I would argue that it\u2019s the mess decks,\u201d said Lattus. \u201cThe mess decks are the only place on the ship that the whole crew gathers together. Training is conducted, friendships are made, birthdays and holidays are celebrated together on the mess decks. The culinary specialists onboard truly put forth their best effort to make the mess decks comfortable and hospitable by providing good food and friendly service. I am proud of them and glad to see they are recognized as the CVN fleet\u2019s best.\u201d<br \/>Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Established in 1958, the Captain Edward F.
