"Rifleman first, attorney second." Major Sarah MacKenzie is a buttoned-down,fiesty U.S. Marine
Corps officer in the Judge Advocate General Corps,stationed at JAG Headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia. Mac, as she is
called,is partnered with Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr., and she is one of the youngest
women in the Corps to have attained
this rank. Mac must remain strong in order to survive the physical rigors of the Marine Corps, and often thinks that her stringent
training as a Marine is superior to that of any Naval Officer. For her to be accepted in the "man's world" of the Corps, she
has had to be tougher than most to earn the respect of her peers. Mac's Unrelenting demand for respect causes her to take
her job as a JAG officer very seriously, which sometimes places her in a head-to-head confrontation with Rabb, telling him
exactly what she thinks. Together Rabb and MacKenzie make a formidable....team
and one of which the military is proud.
Mac's mother left her with her abusive father, although he never laid hands on Sarah, when she was a child. Sarah fought
an alcohol addiction in her teen years. After a high school friend died in a car accident that she lived through,Mac's Uncle
Matt took her to Red Rock Mesa in the desert to "dry out." Mac was commissioned through Officers Candidate School (OCS) and
served with Unit 29 in Bosnia. MacKenzie, als, bears an uncanny resmeblance to
Lieutenant Diane Shonke, a young Naval officer
who was murdered. Dalton Lowne convinced early in late 1997 to leave JAG for a private law firm, but she quickly discovered
that the Corps and JAG was where she wanted to be. Major MacKenzie was stalked and abducted in early 1998, by a disturbed
detective with the D.C. police. As a result of the stalkers efforts, here former boyfriend, D.C. lawyer Dalton Lowne was murdered.That
was the only time she had regressed and gotten drunk. |
