Early life and education[edit]

Jack McCain was born to United States Senator John McCain and the philanthropist Cindy McCain.[1] He was educated at Phoenix Country Day School and Brophy College Preparatory.[2]
Following graduation from prep school, McCain enrolled in the Naval Academy Preparatory School for what he described as "mathematical reinforcement".[3] According to McCain, while he had scored a perfect 800 on the verbal portion of his SAT, he had only received a score of 510 on the mathematics section of the test.[3] After a stint at the Naval Academy Preparatory School, McCain was accepted into the United States Naval Academy, from which his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had graduated.[3][1][4] As of 2008, the year before his 2009 graduation, he had an academic ranking a 1,002 out of a class of 1,100.[3]
Military service[edit]
McCain was commissioned an ensign in the United States Navy in 2009 and trained as a helicopter pilot.[5] McCain completed three deployments to the Territory of Guam as a pilot with HSC-25, a search and rescue and cargo transport unit, and was re-posted to Annapolis, Maryland.[5][6] As of 2018, he held the rank of lieutenant.[5]
Writing and commentary[edit]
Concurrent with his service in the U.S. Navy, McCain has publicly written and commented on a number of political and social issues. In a 2017 guest column for Foreign Policy he opined that the United States Air Force had a "leadership crisis".[7] The same year, he "slammed" critics of an Old Navy ad featuring an interracial couple, declaring on Twitter that they should "eat it".[8] During the United States presidential election of 2016 he "blasted", in an interview with CNN, then candidate Donald Trump.[9] And, in February 2017 he tweeted - and then deleted - a comment which The Hill reported "appeared to criticize President Donald Trump".[10]
In 2017 McCain self-published Angola, Clausewitz, and the American Way of War through CreateSpace which was reviewed by RealClearDefense as a "slim volume" showing potential but which "falls short of its goal".[11]
Personal life[edit]
In 2010 McCain was reported by Gawker as romantically involved with Julia Allison.[12] In a subsequent interview with Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Allison reported that she had originally been introduced to Jack McCain by Meghan McCain, his sister.[13] Allison and McCain's relationship ended in 2011; Allison has said McCain's military career ultimately led to her decision not to pursue their romantic interest further, commenting that "I looked at the life I would have as a military wife and I didn’t think that I could fulfill my dreams and also have him fulfill his".[14][15]
McCain married Renee Swift, a U.S. Air Force pilot, in a 2013 ceremony at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.[8][16]
