but I'd be applying direct to JAG, and so direct to officer training.

You do know that JAG is not really like the stupid TV show, its actually a bunch of pencil necked geeks running around stabbing each other in the back trying to make themselves look better than their peers. laugh

Sounds like how most of the dotcoms were.

Actually, they covered that pretty often on the show too. I don't know about "pencil necked geeks" though... mostly those characters were just too narrow between the eyes.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand why one would waste a law degree on the military Huh?
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Because she lives in Michigan and there are a lot of people unemployed people with law degrees here.

I'd go for it. I really considered it and probably would have enlisted if circumstances had been different.

Duty. Service.

No one in my family has served in the military since 1945.  I think we owe the nation about four years out of every fifty or so.
That's all.  Very simple, old-fashioned reason for joining up.  That I waited until now is mostly because my life wasn't together enough before.

I would't sweat it.I freely admitted to having smoked pot (including an arrest and conviction for misdemeaner possesion) to the Navy, and my security investgator, and still got a secret clearance no problem.They are WAY,WAY more interested in you not having bad credit, too many or large outanding debts, etc.

Yeh, I'd settle for Navy, seeing as how they hire most of the lawyers...

Plus, they're the ones who got their own TV show. I wonder if that improves your chances of a starring role, or flushes them.

I have the pleasure of being born on 4-20.

If it aint the sweeeeeeeeet duuuuuuuuuude thats righteous bakers.

Its the Hey you got the same b-day as Hitler skinheads.

Michigan won't right itself until the state hits rock bottom. I lived there in the 70's early 80's and it was beautiful and sad at the same time.
