Jon and Kelly have a love hate relationship that has lasted through Kelly's entire military career, their first meeting consisted of him tell her he already hated her because she wanted to be an officer, and her making a silent vow that they would be besties one day. Jon and Jesse because friends when they deployed to Europe together in 2019 and later solidified that friendship over Kelly's cupcakes and Mexican food during an Army course in 2024. Jon is a stead fast friend who will be there for his loved ones at any time, but he IS going to complain about it.

Shannon, A.K.A. Kate, A.K.A. Shakate, has been one of Kelly's closest friends since 7th Grade. In a true enemies to friends story, Kelly convinced Kate to yell "Notre Dame sucks!" out the window of Kelly's dad's Camry after volunteering for Gator concessions to raise money for their end of the year band trip and they have been (almost) inseparable ever since.

Jesse has had the privilege of knowing Coleman for most of his life, they are brothers after all. Their bond has been forged in the woods behind their parents house, at the beach and turning wrenches. Jesse knows he can count on Cole to help get whatever project car is in the garage closer to the finish line.

Having met through the ROTC Drill and Ceremony team while attending the University of Florida, Kelly and Chrissy were wary of each other at first but trusted the process of pledging and "Brother" selection in their military fraternity and have been excellent partners in crime on numerous occasions.

Jesse and Aaron met when Jesse was a temporary technician at one of the Florida National Guard's Field Maintenance Shops. While turning wrenches on military vehicles the subject of beer was brought up and the two were fast and dedicated friends ever since. They even started their own home brew line of beers, Fat Drum Brewing, which has let them travel all over the state, sharing their delicious and creative beers!

Back when Kelly was but a young cadet in Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 265th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, she met Lauren by happenstance. They were both cadets at the University of Florida and drilled at the same unit. Lauren needed rides to drill and these two were instant friends. Lauren's infectious laugh and quick wit won over Kelly's heart and the laughs and shenanigans these two have shared over the years could rival even the best comedy specials.

James and Jesse started as acquaintances in 2012 through another one of Jesse's good friends, Ryan. As time went on and hobbies developed they found they both had a love for cars (do we sense a theme here?). These two now own a warehouse together so they an work on all of their projects together and exasperate Kelly with ideas for new projects they'd like to add to the list. These thick as thieves friends know they'll have each other's back through everything but there will be much crap talking while the task is accomplished.

Shortly after Kelly commissioned into the Florida National Guard as a 2nd Lieutenant, she met someone who she has called her "Battle Bestie" for years. When she became friends with Brian she didn't realize she was also gaining a wonderful and close friend in his wife, Sandy. Sandy has been a steadfast and wonderful addition to Kelly's group of friends and the two have been on more date nights and adventures than some couples!
