AETC team comes to Keesler AFB

KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. - The command team of the Air Education and Training Command came to Keesler AFB for an immersion tour Jan. 29-31. AETC Commander Lt. Gen. Brad Webb and Chief Master Sgt. Julie Gudgel had the chance to get familiar with the 2nd Air Force mission, 81st Training Wing facilities, and meet with students and base leaders. KAFB teaches more than 160 courses to more than 28,000 students annually. The team also toured the Levitow Training Support Facility and some of the schoolhouses to observe the training innovations occurring inside the 81st TRW. With such a wide array of courses taught, Webb was impressed with the increased level of comprehension and progression Airmen have shown by the latest teaching methodologies used. Incorporating technology, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, is “all happening at Keesler Air Force Base,” said Webb. Over the past year, Keesler has worked to align its efforts under the Pentagon’s five major lines of effort with regards to privatized housing, which is operated by Hunt Housing: Empowering residents, improving oversight, integrating leadership, improving communication and standardizing policy. Webb saw first-hand the strides Keesler has made with their improvements to their privatized housing and applauded the progress. “What I saw on my tour is the leadership and the Airmen here at Keesler understand that a challenge can be an opportunity,” said Webb.
