Who grills wins: Submarine cooks earn more than the SAS.

THE highest paid non-officer in the military is not an SAS sergeant fluent in three languages taking out Taliban bombmakers in Afghanistan - it's the guy cooking food on a submarine.

Interesting... you can see why it's so high though, you'd have to really love cooking for other people and never seeing sunlight.

Submarine cooks are employed in a category known as "individuals critical to the navy" so they attract a bonus of $50,000 a year just for turning up.


Oh how I wish my industry had that same bonus...
