TMO office helps Airmen through PCS transition Published Sept. 4, 2012 By 2nd Lt. Allanna Jones 333rd Training Squadron KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- The Keesler Traffic Management Office is one of a kind, a one stop shop for all moving, PCS, and travel needs. Providing Airmen with an on-site commercial moving contractor and a Commercial Travel Office to ease stresses associated with permanent change of station moves. The office was established in 1991 as an independent operation by Henry Watson with Ms. Carol Emling, as supervisor, and called it the Tech Training Traffic Management Office. Prior to the office's existence there was one Airman in charge of handling all in-processing non-prior service students, which created a logistical mess. Now, there are two offices, one in the Sablich Center and one in the Levitow Training Support Facility in the Triangle training area, used solely to ease the logistics of Airmen arriving or leaving the base. The Levitow TMO office provides crucial personal property and travel counseling to get the job done right the first time, mitigate any burdens on the students and save the government money.
