Why stay in a crashpad near Keesler AFB?
Keesler is home to the 81st Training Wing, the hub of Air Force technical training for cyber, weather, air traffic control, and medical career fields, plus the famous 403rd Wing 'Hurricane Hunters.' Students on longer courses and cadre on repeat TDYs often find that weeks in a small billeting room wears thin.
