The Navy Culinary Arts Team (NCAT) earned dozens of awards after competing in the annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event at Fort Lee, Virgini March 3-9.

The award winners were announced after the completion of the event March 10.

NCAT consisted of 16 young afloat and ashore culinary specialists (CS) and nine CS trainers who trained together for six weeks prior to the competition at the Fort Pickett Army National Guard installation in Blackstone, Virginia.

Training at Fort Pickett offered the opportunity for NCAT team members to learn from certified American Culinary Federation professionals, as well as members of the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Team. The team members also were able to qualify for culinary certifications during the six-week training.

"It has been three years since the inception of NCAT in October 2014," said Chief Warrant Officer 5 Alicia A. Lawrence, Naval Supply Systems Command Global Logistics Support (NAVSUP GLS) Navy Food Service and NCAT team trainer. "What an accomplishment the teams continue to make each year."
