Survey Evaluation of Marine Corps Food Service Schools at Camp Johnson, North Carolina
Abstract
The three Marine Corps food service schools at Camp Johnson, NC, were evaluated by means of questionnaires and survey data collected at Marine Corps bases from food service officers and dining facility managers. Food service officers rated the Staff NCO Course, while the dining facility managers rated the Staff NCO Course, the NCO Course and the Basic Course. Skills taught at all schools were rated as to: (1) training adequacy, (2) frequency with which they are used and (3) extent to which they should be emphasized. Food Service Officers ratings of the Staff NCO Course showed that training adequacy was low, the skills are frequently used and all need greater emphasis. Managers' ratings showed that the skills taught at all three schools needed greater emphasis and all skills are frequently used except those taught at the Staff NCO Course for managing a consolidated facility and centralized bakery. Managers felt training was (1) adequate at the the Staff NCO Course, except for the consolidated facility and centralized bakery skills, (2) adequate overall at the Food Service NCO Course, although all aspects of the program require greater emphasis; and (3) somewhat inadequate at the Basic Food Service School, and all aspects need greater emphasis. Comments from both food service officers and dining facility managers included the following: greater emphasis should be placed on practical skills at all levels, leadership and supervisory skills should be more developed, less overlap should exist between courses and courses should be longer.
