Upon enrolling at the academy Bryan opted to combine his major in intelligence with a minor in communications as he felt this was a fitting match for his future career. He did consider counselling, particularly when taking into account his background in psychology, but discounted it due to the potential conflict of interest that may arise between is role as a potential intelligence operative and his potential duty of confidentiality and trust as a counsellor. | |||
Like many other cadets in his field he had an extremely intensive study schedule but, as he was now a little older and wiser and finally had a sense of purpose and direction in his life he was able to balance his training with other pursuits – including playing ice hockey. Bryan enjoyed the sport and played for one of the academy teams - the SFI Black Cats – as a centre during his second and third years. | |||
MacRae chose to make his intelligence specialisation the Orion Syndicate. While technically not a governmental organization he convinced his instructors that there was enough confirmed information about the group that it was a valid option. He also rationalised that, while governments may rise and fall, the Syndicate has an enduring and widespread reach, meaning his training may be of more use particularly in areas of galactic instability where the Syndicate hoped to capitalise. | |||

He is also skilled, and continues to train, in the self-defence art of Krav Maga – which he began practising while in Tel-Aviv. While he prefers to avoid carrying a weapon, mostly through his desire to avoid appearing hostile and confrontational, MacRae is a skilled close-quarters combatant and is highly skilled in the use of trench knives – a weapon comprising a knuckle duster style grip and double-edged blade, similar to a Klingon ''mek'leth''. | He is also skilled, and continues to train, in the self-defence art of Krav Maga – which he began practising while in Tel-Aviv.
