Kenneth Robert Mack
- Length/dates of service: 21 years/July 2000 to September 2021
- Branch of Military: Navy
- Rank/occupation: Chief Master at Arms / K-9 Police, Kennel Master, Military Working Dogs
- Hometown: St. Augustine
- City of residence: Palm Coast
- What I learned: Maturity, Character and Reputation. I have learned to be consistent in the performance of demanding duties assigned in an exemplary and highly professional manner. I've learned to be an independent, focused and strong worker who requires little to no supervision. I excel in high stress situations and am an incredible problem solver. I have learned to work well with a team and in diverse work climates, always insisting on unit cohesion and high morale throughout the entire work place. I've learned how to achieve positive results through effective communication and sound decision-making as a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy. I have led and mentored Sailors and DoD Civilians in every imaginable way. There is/was never a task too large for me to handle. I have literally dealt with everything from helping young sailors through life changing divorce, suicidal ideations and attempts, arrests, DUI’s, and daily counseling
Mack is excited to make Palm Coast his home and embark on his new career as a Diesel Mechanic while volunteering his knowledge and experience to "Old Glory Service Dogs 4 Veterans Inc.", formerly known as "Paws of War," our local K-9 Training foundation.
