The 737th Training Group ended 75 years of basic trainees working kitchen duties (KP).
An initiative begun by former Wing Commander Jason Janaros, to pull all Trainees out of KP
took longer than expected as the primary kitchen contractor, Allan Tharp LLC, worked
through numerous issues that centered on their inability to attract additional kitchen staff
personnel. However, as of late June 2022, the contractor and the Training Group worked out
the appropriate formula that proved successful in eliminating the need for recruits to assist in
the kitchens (the last recruits working KP were at Dining Facility #1 bldg 6582).
