Keesler Air Force Base sits on 1.6 square miles in Biloxi, Mississippi. This isn't a residential ZIP code. It's a major Air Force technical training installation where 1,692 people live in dormitories, barracks, and base housing.
With 80 residents per household unit, the numbers tell the story. Of the 1,692 people counted here, 1,623 live in group quarters. These are military trainees attending technical schools operated by the 81st Training Wing. Median age is 20.8 years. Most residents are airmen in their first enlistment, learning skills like electronics, weather forecasting, and cyber operations.
Mail delivery on base works through a mix of PO Boxes and building-specific routing. The base post office maintains 62 PO Boxes, but most mail goes directly to unit mailrooms and dormitories. With 58 named buildings in the ZIP+4 data, including training squadrons (332 TRS, 333 TRS, 334 TRS), support units (81 MSS, 81 CES), and facilities like McBride Library and Fisher House, the postal system routes to specific organizations rather than street addresses.
Street names on base include Phantom Street (364 delivery points), Meadows Drive (151 points), and Larcher Boulevard (131 points). These serve dormitories and base facilities. You'll also find Hangar Road, Hercules Street, and Chappie James Avenue, named for Air Force Gen. Daniel "Chappie" James Jr., the first African American four-star general.
Keesler trains over 30,000 students annually, though most don't live on base full-time. The 1,692 permanent population includes permanent party airmen, some families (only 21 occupied household units exist), and long-term students. The base employs 1,692 people across 35 establishments, making it a significant part of the Biloxi economy.
For mailing to Keesler AFB, use either the Biloxi address or Keesler AFB designation. Both are valid. Military members typically receive mail through their unit, formatted as:
