NATONAL HARBOR, Md. (NNS) -- Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is highlighting its quality-of-life support at the Navy League's Sea Air Space Expo April 7-9.

NAVSUP's exhibit features five daily cooking demonstrations by Navy Culinary Specialists (CSs), and highlights the Navy Exchange, including a peek at new enlisted uniforms, including coveralls.

"The men and women of the Navy Exchange Service Command are NAVSUP's quality of life experts. Their mission is to provide authorized customers with quality goods and services at a savings and to support quality-of-life programs for active duty military, retirees, reservists and their families," said Rear Adm. Jonathan A. Yuen, commander, NAVSUP. "The Navy Exchange Service Command's uniform program ensures that our service members are outfitted with the proper uniform items for the best value,"

CSs are demonstrating their skills and talents cooking dishes such as pan seared salmon with root vegetables; crepes con queso; and Thai red curry shrimp. Recipe cards are available for dishes being prepared.

"Nothing impacts Sailors on a day-to-day basis more than the food they eat. Cutting edge training, along with mentoring by senior enlisted food service leadership, ensures that our culinary specialists have the tools they need to prepare nutritious meals that keep our Sailors healthy and happy," Yuen said.

The Sea-Air-Space Exposition is the largest maritime symposium in the world, attracting nearly 10,000 attendees. It features more than 150 defense industry exhibits and professional seminars with top civilian and military leaders from the U.S. Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Maritime Administration, and the defense industry who provide up-to-the-minute developments on policy and programs of the maritime services.

The NAVSUP and Navy Supply Corps team share one mission--to deliver sustained global logistics and quality-of-life support to the Navy and Joint warfighter. NAVSUP/Navy Supply Corps' diverse team of more than 25,000 civilian and military personnel oversee a diverse portfolio including supply chain management for material support to Navy, Marine Corps, Joint and coalition partners, supply operations, conventional ordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transportation, security assistance, and quality of life issues for the naval forces, including food service, postal services, Navy Exchanges, and movement of household goods.
