The Consumer's Opinions of the Food Service System: The 1973 Minot Air Force Base Survey

Abstract

Opinions were elicited from 509 enlisted personnel at Minot AFB to determine various elements related to food service, including the background characteristics of the samples, their meal patterns, which factors influence attendance and which factors are viewed as problem areas, their evaluations of the quality, variety, and quantity of the food as well as several other non-food features of Air Force food service. The results indicated among other things that not just those who dislike military service dislike Air Force food service, the traditional assumption of 21 meals a week is invalid for these groups, and quality of the food is the most serious problem. Additional recommendations are presented in the text.
