"This was going to be a career that I was embarking on and I didn’t want anything to get in the way of my hard work and my commitment," he admitted. "I was completely in the closet for the first two years and it was very challenging because I would be in class or in the hall and I would hear [homophobic] conversations…"
Despite sure hardships, Mackenzie said the military used to be ultimately "a very positive experience" for him. "After a couple of years serving with these people in the Marines, I learned something: that the Marines don’t give a f--k if you’re gay or straight, they just care that you do your job right," he stated.
"I was a good medic, so eventually, I was able to open up to them," he added. "We have a lot of downtime in the military, so we pass it by sharing stories and they were fascinated by mine. They had so many questions and were so open and welcoming."
