Fall is here and in Biloxi, Mississippi, that means the heat and humidity are finally subsiding! For many Keesler Airman, we are also in that wonderful season after summer Permanent Changes of Station (PCS), when we are starting to get the hang of new units, new jobs, and new community and base cultures. For other Airmen, this season is a time to slow down and prepare for the positive and negative stress that will come with the winter holidays ahead…seeing family, missing family, and weathering the colder,

In the 81st Force Support Squadron (81 FSS), we take seriously the charge to provide Airmen and their families with programs, activities, and events that support individual resiliency, build unit cohesion, and encourage a strong “Dragon” community.
