Rachel grew up playing travel softball and volleyball in Alaska with Mack. They have been friends for more than 10 years! (With some embarrassing photos to prove it!) Rachel is a Licensed Master Social Worker, and she currently lives and works in Mississippi.

Malia and Mack were roommates for several semesters at the Academy and would always find a way to room together again even if they were supposed to “switch” roommates. Malia is currently serving at Sector Delaware Bay. So many good memories together! Malia and Mack played softball together, did Regimental Staff together, and majored in Government together.

Sydney and Mack were the “Pitchers from the North” on the Academy softball team. Sydney is from Michigan, so she is also no stranger to cold weather. She is currently serving the Coast Guard on a cutter in Miami! Good times always follow Syd, you can find her “New Boot Goofin” wherever she goes.

Sarah is the most hilarious hype-girl you will ever meet. Sarah is another Academy softball teammate! She is Mack’s partner-in-crime, as she is also assigned to Flight School for the Coast Guard in Pensacola.

Kylie and Mack met in Flight School after they were assigned to the same primary squadron and were formation partners. In ground school, both of them thought “She’s cool, I really want to be friends with her!” Kylie is in the Navy, and currently is in advanced training for helicopters! If you ask Mack, Kylie is the social butterfly of flight school and the leader of the social calendar.
