Capt. Timothy Brent Moore, the incoming commanding officer of Naval Air Station Meridian, Miss., hopes to build on the success of his predecessor, Capt. Brian Horstman, while bringing fresh eyes to the post. Moore will take command Aug. 28 in a small ceremony. Horstman is retiring after 26 years of service. Moore graduated with distinction from the United States Naval Academy in 1997, earning a bachelor's degree in Oceanography. Following training, he was designated as a Naval Aviator in April 1999. He’s flown more than 3,200 hours in fixed and rotary wing aircraft, including 150 combat flight hours over Iraq. Moore was a helicopter pilot and instructor, which he says will bring a unique view for NAS Meridian. What he intends to bring is a background of being the ‘unsung hero’ … and getting it right the first time. “That requires dedication day-in, day-out. You can’t fail at those (helicopter) missions of search and rescue. That dedication of doing it right the first time, every time, is something I’ll bring, whether the spotlight is on us or not.” (Source: Meridian Star 08/27/20)
