6 A near record snowfall, icy roadways and freezing temperatures did not deter Navy culinary specialists from helping care for admitted patients at Naval Hospital Bremerton.
When a recent winter storm curtailed services at many naval bases across the Kitsap Peninsula, Culinary Specialists Third Class Henry Roman and Anthony Roth trekked in on a stormy Saturday morning to ensure all Labor and Delivery patients were provided nutritional needs during their stay.
“Bottom line; they don’t come in, those patients don’t eat. They came in and took care of business. Neither of them were on duty that weekend, but they both could get here. They rogered up, took the responsibility and ran with it,” said Chief Culinary Specialist Donald Simpkins, Nutrition Management leading chief petty officer.
