No one prepares a wolf for a fist down its throat. Or a bear for a slap on the ass.

I’ve been out of the business for a few years but I remembered some great wisdom I gained early on.

Anytime you’re headed to a new station for a shift or longer call ahead and ask what to cook for breakfast. If you don’t get a good answer at least ask if there are any allergies or no fly zones. My go to as a new guy was biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, orange juice, and some fruit. It doesn’t have to be crazy. Just yummy and filling.

I know shits super expensive right now and new folks probably don’t have a lot of extra cash to throw around. Do what you can. Cooking breakfast for the crew does a few things. It shows initiative and ambition. It shows humility. It demonstrates life skills. And it shows a willingness to serve.

If you aren’t good at cooking do some research. Watch some videos. Practice at home. Like I said you don’t have to put out a superbowl breakfast. Just enough.

I hope this helps someone because it sure made a difference for me. Like my first AC said the first time I cooked dinner for 12 as a new guy. It doesn’t have to be good; just makes sure there’s enough. Cheers friends.
