The Impact of a Modified Training Course on Performance of U.S. Coast Guard Subsistence Specialists

Abstract

A comparative study was conducted of two training courses for US Coast Guard Subsistence Specialists as part of a project to evaluate the training of Navy Mess Management Specialists. One of the courses had been modified by an increase in the amount of 'hands-on' time, and an overall reduction in course time. School and on-duty performance were compared for graduates of the training courses. Overall, the training provided by the modified course received more favorable evaluations leading to a recommendation to the Navy of increased 'hands-on' training for their Mess Management Specialists.
