Former Recruit Battalion CO to head Recruiting District
The former commanding officer of Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island’s 3rd Recruit Battalion will only have a short distance to travel to fill his newest billet.
Col. Paul Timoney will become the commanding officer of the Marine Corps’ 6th Marine Corps District during a ceremony Friday at the Four Winds Club on Parris Island.
Timoney will oversee a recruiting district that includes South Carolina, seven other Southern states, as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
The district is headquartered at Parris Island, which also serves as the headquarters for the Corps’ Eastern Recruiting Region.
Timoney will replace Col. Michael Oehl, who was credited with meeting three years of recruiting goals, according to a news release today from the depot.
