A
Hello,
my
name
is
Vincent
creel
public
affairs
manager
for
the
city
of
Biloxi
I'm
here
to
deliver
today's
be
prepared
report.
This
is
recorded
on
Saturday
May
2
2020
at
2:20.
In
the
afternoon.
The
Mississippi
State
Department
of
Health,
which
reported
a
record
to
397
new
cases
of
the
corona
virus
on
Friday,
says
that
there
have
been
229
new
cases
of
the
virus
reported
in
the
past
24
hours
throughout
the
state,
they've
also
been
10
deaths
attributed
to
the
corona
virus.
A
In
the
past
24
hours
this
chart
shows
the
statewide
totals
over
the
past
14
days
in
Harrison
County,
four
new
cases
were
reported
in
the
past
24
hours.
This
chart
shows
the
downward
trajectory
that
we've
seen
for
more
than
14
days
in
Jackson
County,
no
new
cases
were
reported
and
five
new
cases
were
reported
in
Hancock
County.
One
person
died
from
the
corona
virus
in
Jackson
County
in
the
past
24
hours
tonight
will
be
the
last
night
of
the
curfew
in
Biloxi.
No
one
should
be
on
the
streets
after
11
o'clock
tonight.
A
The
curfew
ends
at
5
a.m.
Sunday
until
further
notice.
Keep
this
in
mind.
Governor
Reeves
said
that
when
he
woke
up
Friday
morning,
he
had
hoped
to
announce
later
in
the
day
the
easing
of
some
of
the
restrictions
and
ended
in
his
executive
order.
Then
the
frightening
numbers
came
in
almost
400
new
cases
reported
in
24
hours.
On
that
same
Friday,
mayor
Gillis
released
the
Biloxi
plan
called
opening
of
Biloxi.
Again,
the
mayor
is
not
proposing
to
open
any
new
businesses
that
are
closed
under
the
governors
order.
A
If
you
are
Biloxi
business
that
is
awaiting
the
governor's
okay
to
open,
we
ask
that
you
familiarize
yourself
with
these
guidelines
and
make
them
part
of
your
reopening
plan
when
that
day
arrives,
the
public
needs
to
know
that
we're
all
taking
prudent
and
responsible
precautions.
The
public
also
needs
to
take
prudent
and
responsible
precautions
and
to
make
good
decisions.
You
can
see
the
guidelines
for
opening
up
Biloxi
again
online
now
on
the
city's
website.
Everybody
in
Biloxi
will
see
them
in
their
mailbox
mid
week.
For
the
record.
A
Please
remember:
the
governor
currently
has
an
executive
order
in
place.
It's
called
safer
at
home.
It
allows
the
opening
of
some
retail
at
50%
50%
of
your
fire
capacity.
The
city
has
also
issued
its
guidelines
for
safety
for
retailers,
as
well
as
hotel.
Yers
restaurants
can
only
offer
takeout
or
delivery
dining
rooms.
Even
outdoor
dining
is
not
allowed
under
the
governor's
executive
order.
That's
the
report
today,
we'll
see
you
here
again
tomorrow
on
behalf
of
Mayor
Gilles
and
the
members
of
the
Biloxi
City
Council.
We
say
god
bless
you
and
God
bless
Biloxi.
A
Earlier
this
week
we
saw
the
planes
from
Keesler
fly
over
the
medical
facilities
as
a
salute.
They
flew
over
our
own
merit
health
here
in
downtown
Biloxi.
We
leave
you
today
with
the
salute
to
the
men
and
women
of
Keesler
Air
Force
Base,
our
smear
Gillett
likes
to
say
our
Keesler
cousins.
Here
is
the
story
of
Keesler
Air
Force
Base,
which
is
also
the
story
of
Biloxi.
B
Mississippi
was
a
very
different
place.
75
years
ago
in
the
late
30s,
the
average
household
income
was
right
around
1,000
dollars
annually
and
most
were
lucky
to
have
that
after
the
last
decade
of
depression,
dust
bowls
and
prohibition,
Biloxi
fared
well
during
these
times,
thanks
to
its
seafood
industry,
which
shielded
the
coast
from
the
worst
effects
of
the
Great
Depression
by
the
mid
to
late
30s,
even
the
seafood
industry
had
slowed
to
a
crawl
and
Biloxi
desperately
needed
an
economic
shot
in
the
arm.
B
With
the
nation
gearing
up
for
war,
local
and
state
government
were
able
to
convince
Washington
to
designate
a
new
training
base
in
Biloxi
what
had
been
a
makeshift
airport,
a
Navy
shipyard,
a
golf
course
and
private
land
totaling
40%,
a
Biloxi's
landmass
was
sold
to
the
US
government
to
form
what
became
the
Army
Air
Corps
station
number.
Eight
in
1941.
C
Streets
were
either
just
sand
or
those
that
were
built
up
for
the
heavy
foot
traffic.
It
was
covered
with
fresh
oyster
shells
from
the
oyster
plants
in
Biloxi
and
in
the
morning
we
might
get
a
little
shower,
and
in
the
afternoon
when
the
hot
90
degrees
Sun
came
out,
the
stench
from
the
sorcerer
shells
were
sickening.
C
B
B
Army
Air
Corps
stationed
number
eight
was
designated
Keesler
Field
in
honor
of
second
lieutenant
Samuel
Reeves
Keesler
jr.,
a
mississippi
world
war.
One
war
hero
Keesler,
grew
up
in
Greenwood
Mississippi
and
fought
in
World
War
one
as
an
aerial
observer
with
the
Army
Air
Service.
He
was
killed
in
1918
after
his
plane
crash
behind
German
lines.
It
was
customary
to
name
bases
after
fallen
war,
heroes
from
the
era
and
second
lieutenant
Samuel
Reeves
Keesler
jr.
was
a
perfect
fit
shortly.
Afterwards.
B
The
United
States
was
thrust
into
world
war
ii
with
the
bombing
of
Pearl
Harbor
throughout
world
war
ii.
Keesler
turned
out
mechanics
and
technicians
by
the
thousands
to
help
in
the
mass
of
air
presence
during
the
foreign
campaigns
in
europe
and
beyond.
Many
of
the
graduates
went
right
into
teaching
far
and
wide.
So
Keesler
was
directly
responsible
for
the
growth
of
airpower.
During
that
era,
the
Air
Force
became
its
own
branch
of
the
military.
B
In
late
1947
and
in
January
of
1948,
Keesler
became
an
official
Air
Force
Base
shortly
after
Keesler
was
designated
an
Air
Training
Command
installation
after
the
war,
he's
learned,
proven
itself
as
a
training
mecca
and
took
charge
of
the
radar
school
and
radio
operations
by
the
early
1950s
Keesler
shifted
his
focus
away
from
airplane
and
mechanics
courses
and
focused
more
on
training
and
technology.
I.
D
Was
greeted
to
open
bay
barracks,
which
we
had
a
basic
military
training
because
they
had
not
completed
to
triangle
at
that
time,
so
we
did
what
they
called
in
those
days
back
locked
for
about
three
weeks.
That
was
additional
duties,
everything
from
Ship
Island
one-week,
building
everything
to
anything
on
the
base
that
they
need
it
because
we
were
self-contained.
There
was
no
contractors,
we
had
to
do
it
all
clean.
The
yards,
pull
KP
feed
do
all
of
that.
B
D
Was
a
raucous
raucous
area
I'm
telling
you
they
had
a
lot
going
on
in
Biloxi,
they
had
nightclubs,
they
had
joints
outside
the
gate.
We
always
had
to
go
in
uniform,
have
a
have
a
pass
and
had
to
check
in
on
time,
but
there
was
a
lot
going
on
in
Biloxi,
yet
you
ride
the
buses
and
it
was
more
or
less
segregated
you
sometimes
in
the
front,
sometimes
in
the
back,
but
it
was
a
totally
different
thing.
It
and
Keesler
was
a
mainstay
for
a
Biloxi.
The
mainstay.
B
E
Matter
who
you
are
from
where
you
may
have
come,
whether
officer,
airmen,
civilian
or
representative
of
a
foreign
government
as
you
travel
along
Mississippi's,
Gulf,
Coast
past
the
historic
Biloxi
lighthouse,
you
have
one
thing
in
common:
you
are
nearing
the
electronics
center
of
the
airport's
Keesler
Air
Force
Base
to
join
the
students
rank
from
basic
training.
You
remember
tell
hundreds
of
questions
an
interview
and
the
results
showed.
You
have
the
aptitude
to
become
an
electronic
technician.
B
Thanks
in
large
part
to
the
space
race
of
the
60s,
Keesler
was
utilizing
technology
and
techniques
that
required
significant
computing
power
and
safe
air-conditioned
structures
to
house
them.
Cody
Brian,
Jones,
Hughes
and
Maltby
halls
were
state-of-the-art
training
facilities
erected
at
that
time
to
replace
the
many
smaller
world
war
ii
era.
Buildings
that
dotted
the
base,
as
the
lengthy
campaign
in
vietnam
was
winding
down.
Keesler
offered
ample
opportunities
for
the
large
number
of
troops
coming
home
to
lead
young,
Airmen
and
train
the
future
of
the
Air
Force
I
bought.
F
A
car
all
of
us
over
there
station
wagon
in
Vietnam,
you
know
you
could
buy
it
and
it's
waiting
for
you
in
San
Francisco.
Of
course,
that
was
good
because
I
got
off
the
airplane,
got
the
car
and
drove
out
so
I
didn't
have
anybody
throwing
stuff
at
me
or
anything,
because
those
were
still
the
years.
We
were
bad
guys.
B
B
After
Vietnam
furthering
Keeler's,
already
technological
image,
Keesler
housed
tenants
from
the
first
aerospace
cartographic
and
geodetic
squadron,
the
nine
20th
tactical
airlift
group,
the
53rd
weather
reconnaissance
squadron
and
the
seventh
airborne
command
and
control
squadron.
This
time
in
the
70s
assured
in
the
iconic
era
of
the
c-130s,
which
Keesler
is
still
known
for
today
throughout
the
80s
Keesler
kept
up
with
the
rapid
pace
of
technology
by
creating
prototype
interactive
video
discs,
which
eventually
spread
government-wide
as
a
standard
teaching
aid.
B
As
a
result
of
the
air
force's
drawdown
after
the
Cold
War
Keesler
was
able
to
absorb
courses
in
weather,
forecasting,
meteorology
and
precision
maintenance,
electronics,
laboratory
training.
At
the
same
time,
the
81st
Tactical
Fighter
Wing
redesignate,
the
81st
training
wing,
was
relocated
to
Keesler
and
became
our
host
organization.
The.

B
B
H

Today's
facilities
are
amazing
when
I
came
back
after
Katrina
and
saw
the
kind
of
dorms
our
airmen
are
living
in
I
couldn't
believe
it.
We
have
entry
control,
everybody
is
internal
to
the
facility.
You
don't
have
to
worry
about
external
threats.
Everything
is
just
modern.
We
have
cameras.
Now
we
have
alarm
systems,
we
have
all
kinds
of
things
to
ensure
their
safety,
so
they
can
just
focus
on
their
airmanship
and
their
technical
training.
B
Keesler
bounced
back
following
the
devastation
of
Hurricane
Katrina
major
renovations
to
almost
every
structure
were
completed.
Keesler
now
has
stunning
new
on
and
off
base
housing,
a
new,
state-of-the-art
commissary
in
exchange,
new
dorms
and
a
luxurious
Bay
Breeze
Events
Center.
Just
a
few
years
after
its
devastation,
Keesler
won
the
coveted
Air
Force
installation,
Excellence
Award,
and
received
a
million
dollars
for
standard
of
living
upgrades.
B
I
As
a
we
receive
men
and
women
all
ages,
all
walks
of
life,
they
come
to
us
to
basic
military
training
at
Lackland,
Air,
Force
Base,
and
from
that
very
first
minute,
we
start
laying
that
foundation
of
our
core
values.
Air
Force,
core
values,
teamwork,
leadership
from
the
very
beginning
it
starts
from
the
beginning,
but
throughout
all
the
eight
and
a
half
weeks
we
need
every
minute
of
it
and
it's
all
important
from
the
basics
of
drill.
It's
teaching
team
work
and
we're
relaying
that
to
them.
I
Yes,
we
are
marching
around
and
learning
different
drill
movements,
but
also
it's
teaching
you
how
to
be
a
team
and
teaching
you
how
to
react
to
different
commands
at
any
time.
Our
main
goal
is:
we
want
them
to
become
motivated,
capable
Airmen
after
eight
and
a
half
weeks
that
when
we
send
them
off
to
technical
training,
they're
still
motivated
they're
still
ready
to
go
and
they
hit
the
ground
running
at
whatever
base
they
go
to
for
the
next
skill
and
they
tiel's
grab
them
and
they
harness
that
energy
and
they
just
continue
on
what.
J
We're
finding
is
that
these
Airmen
they
really
truly
want
to
be
driven
by
something
greater
than
themselves.
They
want
to
be
a
part
of
a
team,
and
when
we
get
this
Airmen
from
basic
military
training,
our
main
goal
is
yes
to
reinforce
those
standards,
but
also
help
them
identify
to
that.
That
thing
that's
bigger
than
themselves.
We
know
what
the
core
values
are.
J
They
learn
them,
but
sometimes
they're
just
they
might
just
be
words
to
them
in
basic
training,
and
how
do
we
help
them,
tie
the
true
meaning
and
give
them
stories
of
this
is
what
integrity
looks
like
this
is
what
service
looks
like
and
what
they
see
is
my
Mt
eyes
weren't
just
the
example.
My
MT
ELLs
are
now
the
example
and
then
what
the
hope
is
is
that
our
first
duty
station
supervisors
are
the
example,
so
the
MCL
is
bridged.
J
The
gap
between
how
we
get
this
Airmen
into
a
structured
environment
and
then
now
we
put
them
in
an
opportunity
or
in
an
environment
where
they
now
have
to
make
decisions
that
are
going
to
set
them
up
for
success
in
their
future.
And
so
the
the
role
of
Intel
is
pivotal.
Right
I
mean
we
have
to
be
the
ones
that
are
ultimately
caring
about
that
Airmen
and
their
long-term
success
as
well,
and
that
that's
a
that's
blessing
beyond
words.
