CAMP JOHNSON, N.C. - Sgt. Maj. Timothy R. Weber retired with 24 years of service and relinquished his command as director of the Staff Noncommissioned Officer Academy, to Sgt. Maj. Timothy P. Haney, during a change of directors and retirement ceremony, aboard Camp Johnson, Feb. 21.
“Being the director here at the Staff Noncommissioned Officer Academy was the best thing for me and my career, and I am confident in the new leadership that Sgt. Maj. Haney will provide as the director,” said Weber.
During the ceremony, Weber reflected on his service and the Marines he served with who continue to show the warrior spirit and the meaning of brotherhood.
“My units lost a lot of Marines throughout the deployments, but despite all the losses, these kids turned right back around, sometimes the only survivors in their squad and said, ‘I’m going back outside the wire,’ and there is nothing more motivating than that,” said Weber.
Continuous self-improvement and leading Marines was always a priority throughout his career, explained Weber.
Weber earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a master’s degree in Leadership and Business Ethics while on active duty.
Weber’s deployments included the Persian Gulf, Mediterranean Sea, Norway, Nova Scotia, Afghanistan, Japan and Iraq. His personal awards include a Meritorious Service Medal (second award), Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device (third award) and a combat action ribbon (second award).
Haney, who previously served with 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines, strives to lend the Marines of the SNOA at his new position as director.
“Sergeant Major Weber has done an outstanding job here, and I hope to continue his success and help influence Marines and this academy,” said Haney.
