Cmdr.

He subsequently began his flight training in Pensacola, Florida and earned his “Wings of Gold” in July of 2011 from Torpedo Squadron (VT) 22 in Kingsville, Texas. After receiving his wings, he began his F/A-18E/F Replacement Pilot training in Lemoore, California with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 122. 

Upon completion of training in 2012, he was ordered to the Eagles of VFA-115, in Atsugi, Japan.  He embarked onboard the USS George Washington (CVN 73) from 2012 to 2014 in support of WESTPAC, Valiant Shield, Keen Sword, Talisman Sabre, and Operation Damayan. During his time at 115, he acted as Line Division Officer, Legal Officer and Landing Signal Officer. 

Peck left Atsugi in May of 2015 to attend the Navy’s Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (SFTI) course in Fallon, Nevada. After graduation, he returned to VFA-122 as an instructor, where he served as SFTI, Basic Fighter Maneuvers phase head and Standardization Officer.

During this time, he completed a combat deployment on board the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) in support of Operation Freedom Sentinel.
