CWO Tammy McComb will retire from the Canadian Forces on 9 May 2010 after 28 years of dedicated service to Canada and the Military Police Branch.
Tammy joined the Canadian Forces as a Military Policewoman in April 1982 at the ripe old age of 17. Immediately following her QL3 training she was posted to CFB Borden, Ontario. It was during this first posting that her passion for both policing and the military started to grow. Over the years she has been posted to CFB Lahr, Germany, Ottawa, Ontario, back to CFB Borden and then back again to Ottawa. She has worked as a patrolwoman, as an investigator, a surveillant, an instructor at the academy, a Company Sergeant Major, professional standards evaluator and investigator and finally, as the CANOSCOM OS MP GP CWO.
Despite all her earlier efforts to deploy, her first opportunity did not present itself until 1993 when, as part of a very small team she went to the former Republic of Yugoslavia to conduct war crime investigations. She returned to the fry in 1994, to conduct further investigations. In 1996 Tammy deployed to Bosnia where she worked with the allied multi- national intelligence battalion. In 1999, Tammy deployed to Macedonia as a member of the NCE HQ CFNIS Detachment and in 2008, deployed to Afghanistan as the MP Coy SM.
CWO McComb has decided that it is time to move on and hang up her combat boots. Immediately following her release she will return to school to obtain a certificate as a personal support worker. She will remain in the Ottawa area with her husband, CWO Darcy Elder, OS MP GO CWO (Designate).
A small retirement luncheon will be planned at a later date with details to follow. Anyone wishing to send congratulatory notes and anecdotes should forward them to
