The Community - Biloxi, MS
Biloxi is one of the oldest communities in the country, having
first been settled in 1699. Today, the city is a cultural melting
pot, with a year 'round schedule of celebrations, set against a
backdrop of sugar-white sand beaches, great deep-sea or freshwater
fishing, an array of championship golf courses, museums and
historic sites, tantalizing seafood restaurants, and the excitement
of 24-hour non-stop casino resorts.
Keesler Air Force Base
In early January 1941, Biloxi city officials assembled a formal
offer to invite the United States Army to build a base to support
the World War II training buildup. The War Department activated
Army Air Corps Station No. 8, Aviation Mechanics School, Biloxi,
Mississippi, on 12 June 1941. On August 25, 1941, the base was
dedicated as Keesler Army Airfield, in honor of 2d Lt Samuel Reeves
Keesler, Jr., a Mississippi native and distinguished aerial
observer, killed in action in France during the First World War.
Keesler AFB is one of the largest technical training wings in AETC,
with four training squadrons located in the training building
complex known as the triangle, the 334th, 335th, 336th, and the
338th. On average, Keesler has 4,700 students on base at a time.

such as wideband maintenance, ground radio, information technology,
