CAREER GROCER TAKES REINS OF COMMISSARY SYSTEM
After 140 years, the tradition of a career military officer being in commissary stores, and how groceries are stocked and sold on base, is over.
Patrick B. Nixon, a career grocer and a senior civilian executive of the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) since its formation 15 years ago, became its first full-fledged civilian director in June. Stand by for fresher produce, more self-checkout counters and stores designed to serve both convenience shoppers and patrons needing to restock their fridge and pantry.
In an hour-long interview, Nixon discussed changes and challenges ahead for commissaries. He also spoke, without bravado, about how a civilian director can bring a career's worth of supermarket experience to the job, and then stay long enough to see his vision become reality.
Fresher produce for commissary patrons has long been a goal for Nixon. He began to do something about it when he became acting director in 2004 and will see it achieved system wide as DeCA's director.
