Evaluation of Mess Management Specialist (MS) 'A' School Training by Advanced MS NAVEDTRACOM Students and by Fleet MS Personnel,

Abstract

Feedback information concerning Mess Management Specialist (MS) 'A' School training was collected from 65 MS personnel attending advanced courses within the Naval Education and Training Command (NAVEDTRACOM) and also from 82 MSs currently serving in fleet billets. A structured interview procedure was developed and evaluated for collecting data. Interviewees provided information concerning the degree to which typical 'A' School graduates were utilized on the job to perform 83 tasks for which the school provided training. Information was also obtained concerning the degree and specific nature of difficulty (ies) which recent graduates exhibit in performing the 83 job tasks. Comparisons made between data obtained within the NAVEDTRACOM and data obtained from fleet MS personnel showed that these sources provide equivalent feedback information. Similarly, MS personnel assigned to shore billets provide feedback data equivalent to that from personnel assigned to sea duty billets. (Author)
