Military, host nationals share duties in New Galley: Seabee quality of life gets boost in Spain.
CAMP MITCHELL, Rota, Spain -- Chalk up another one for the Navy in its efforts to improve quality of life for its service members.
When Seabees with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5, known as "The Professionals," were preparing for their 2002 European deployment back at their homeport in Port Hueneme, Calif., they heard there was a new food service facility awaiting them at Camp Mitchell.

Caballero, the assistant manager and current supervisor of the galley's Spanish day crew, returned to her hometown Rota and to her new job after working in hotel management in London for the past four years. She said the staff went through two weeks of training on all aspects of food service, from safety and preparation to food service organization and quality ...
