Rachael (Rachael Buckley) from CANTONMENT, FL
Marine
and
Rachael is an Occupational Health Nurse based in Pensacola, Florida. She is married and
has four children, with one son residing in Australia, while her other three children continue
to live in the US. Her middle son is a newly minted Marine from Parris Island. Rachael comes
from a family with a rich military heritage, her great grandfather’s service makes her son the
fifth generation in the military and second generation as a Marine. In her free time, Rachael
enjoys engaging in anything craft-related and exploring different parts of the world. She has
a hidden passion for renovating her home, although her husband isn't as enthusiastic about
it.
Service has consistently played a vital role in Rachael's life, highlighted by her own service
in the Royal Australian Army. Her father served in the Royal Australian Army, both of her
grandfathers served during World War II, and her great-grandfather served in both World
Wars I and II. When her son received notice of his shipping date, she had very little time to
prepare. However, as a former military spouse, she understood the mission and ensured her
poolee made it to departure on time. It was during this time that she discovered the
MarineParents groups through the recruiter, and she felt immense gratitude for the support
and love she received throughout her son's boot camp. Eager to give back, Rachael
embraced the chance to volunteer and join a remarkable group of individuals dedicated to
helping and connecting parents and loved ones as they navigate this new chapter in their
lives.
