New boss at NAS Meridian

Navy Capt. Scott Bunnay became the 24th commanding officer of Naval Air Station Meridian on July 18. "This assignment brings me happily back to Mississippi to command NAS Meridian," said Bunnay who completed flight training and received his Wings of Gold and designation as a naval aviator in July 1994 from Commander Training Air Wing One. Bunnay reports to NASM from duty with the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy. He relieved Capt. Charles C. Moore II who had served as NASM's commander since July 2011. Capt. Moore's next assignment will be as commanding officer of the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps at the University of Illinois. (Source: NAS Meridian 07/18/14)
