    Cmdr. Christopher “Murdock” Putre, U.S. Navy, and Lt. Col. Timothy “Little Buddy” Burchett, U.S. Marine Corps, participate in a symbolic passing of the squadron colors during the VX-31 change of command ceremony at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake on March 6, 2025. The transfer of colors, delivered by Senior Chief Petty Officer Ramone Casascardenas, signifies the relinquishing of command by Putre and Burchett’s commitment to leading the officers, sailors, Marines and civilians of VX-31. The squadron plays a critical role in testing naval aviation technologies and supporting Search and Rescue operations. (U.S. Navy photo by Michael L. Smith)
