yes the cook wouldn't have served, but as COD is an EB boat without the pass-thru window, we had the newbies serve the chow... but I haven't a clue as to how the NUBs would have dressed for mess duty.
That pass through window seems like a good idea, but not so to the designers at EBCO! Wonder why? Maybe the idea of passing food over the grills was dangerous!
