Cmdr. Edward C. White was relieved of his duties as commanding officer of Strike Fighter Squadron One Zero Six (VFA-106) based at Naval Air Station Oceana on Monday.
Commander of the Naval Air Force Atlantic, Rear Admiral Michael Shoemaker relieved White of his duties after an ongoing command investigation into White's alleged inappropriate relationship with a female Department of the Navy civilian employee.
