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. Now that the battalion has been here a few weeks, the consensus among hungry Seabees is that the food, the service, and the overall ambience of the Naval Construction Force's newest food service facility are near five-star quality.

What makes this food service facility so unique? Well, 1,200 meals are served daily. Another interesting element is that a melting pot of Navy mess management specialists and Spanish food service attendants make for a unique working relationship.

There are 21 Navy MSs working side-by-side with about a dozen civilians. The Seabees, who always try to get as much mileage as they can with their "Can Do" spirit, view this as a cultural learning experience.

"It's a show and tell process," said Chief Mess Management Specialist (SCW) Jeffrey Gamble from Pontiac, Mich., and the galley's leading chief petty officer. "We want to mold into one big, happy family."
