New and Improved Anderson Hall
Cpl. Dezmond Browning
Since stepping foot into Marine Corps Base Hawaii’s Anderson Hall, Master Gunnery Sergeant Morris Mayfield could tell it hadn’t lost its potential, envisioning an experience that would rejuvenate every Marine who passed through its doors. The aging dining facility had seen better days, but he was determined to restore it to its former glory. As the new food tech on MCBH, Mayfield had taken command of a facility that had lost its spark. Drawing on his 28 years of versatile experience in food service from the kitchens of Japan to the dining halls of Paris, Mayfield is seeking to modernize Anderson Hall, blending his old-school mentality with a fresh, innovative approach.
