Keesler Facebook page keeps 'fans' connected Published Aug. 3, 2011 By Airman 1st Class Heather Heiney 81st training Wing Public Affairs KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- A Facebook page is like a cork bulletin board where anyone can tack photos, information and questions. Keesler fans have many reasons to "like" the page including the important information about what's happening on base that's posted daily, articles, photos, links to base organizations and other Air Force-related pages and websites, interactive questions and discussions. Brian Margavich said that he uses Facebook to keep in contact with friends and family. "It's great while home and while deployed," Margavich said. "The Keesler page allowed me to feel a little closer to home while deployed to Cuba for six months." The page reaches more than 2,100 members of the Keesler family and that number grows daily. Not only does it provide information, it's a forum to keep people connected to one another. Megan Schroeder said, "I grew up Air Force and now I'm married into it. Growing up and moving everywhere, I made friends all around the world and Facebook helps me keep in touch with them. When posting on the Keesler page, always keep operations security in mind. Don't post anything that is offensive or inappropriate.All advertising will be deleted immediately. Other than that, feel free to share any thoughts, questions and photos that relate to Keesler (and maybe even have your photo published in the Keesler News). Jamie Christensen Chevalier said, "Facebook is great for keeping in touch, but it can also lead to rumors and makes OPSEC more difficult, especially with some younger members who don't know what they should or shouldn't post." Another purpose of the Keesler page is rumor control. For example, during the water boil notice, people could go to the Keesler page for the most accurate and up-to-date information available. Kelly Brody said, "The Keesler page is incomparable because most of the pages that I enjoy are just for fun. Keesler's page can be very entertaining, but it is informative as well, it is timely and it is relevant, easy to read and none the less it is still fun!"
