Twelve spouses of active-duty Air Force members at Keesler will be able to attend a certified nursing assistant program at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College's Jeff Davis Campus, thanks to a grant from the Air Force Aid Society.

The class is 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, May 10-June 23, with two Saturday clinical experience sessions required. Child care isn't provided.

Application is limited to non-military spouses of active-duty Air Force members or nearby Air Force detachments. Spouses of activated Guard or Reserve personnel must show orders indicating the military member is on active duty status through June 23.

Applicants themselves, not the military member, must bring the completed form with their identification card to Room 110, Sablich Center, by April 20. The 12 accepted applicants must have a background check from Biloxi Regional Medical Center, but with the receipt, the $50 will be reimbursed.
