Blue skies for Keesler 5 years after Katrina
In January, Airmen began arriving at Keesler for technical training by air. After Katrina, officials projected that it would take the 81st Training Group more than six months to resume training, but classes geared back up Sept. 18, 2005, less than three weeks after the storm. So far in fiscal 2010, which ends Sept. 30, 25,324 officers, enlisted and civilians have come to Keesler for a wide spectrum of training, with 23,878 graduates to date.
