    Timothy MacCormac

    I have proudly served my country for 32 years. I joined the military while attending the University of New Brunswick and University of St. Thomas. I grew up surrounded by the Canadian Military, but my main reason for joining was family influence. I come from a long line of military family on both my parents' sides. I have been posted throughout Canada and Germany under my father. My mother was a civilian employed with the Department of National Defence as a secretary to the commandant of the armoured school. My brother is currently an infantry officer and my sister is married to an infantry master warrant officer.
