NSAPC change of command

PANAMA CITY, Fla. – There will be a change of command ceremony for Naval Support Activity Panama City on July 28. Capt. Aaron Peters will assume the helm from outgoing commander Capt. Phillip Dawson, who will be retiring after 30 years of naval service. The new commander "has a lot of experience with the programs and development that we do down here through various positions that he's had over the last 10 to 12 years,” said Fleet Liaison Officer in Charge Thomas Dill, “so he's very familiar with what we do and I think that's going to be a great asset pushing us forward." (Source: WJHG 07/26/17) Peters, who is a qualified Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer, master EOD technician, diver, and naval parachutist, is the first Navy EOD officer to command NSWC PC since its establishment in 1945.
