Seriously, forget Navy JAG and go speak with the Air Force recruiters.
I'm not a naysayer generally - but I'll chime in here on the JAG angle - Unless you believe JAG is your calling -forget JAG! DCO is hyper competitive.
JAG is hyper competitive on steroids. The reserve side not as much but even then, it's a great gig, no one leaves, and it can take a few tries to squeeze in so don't put all your eggs in one basket. Each application take 6 months or so and they only run one or two boards a year. Start early and apply often if you want to go this route. If you are lucky it works first try. It not, this can take a few years.
I'm sure the poster went to a better law school than I did and was a better student. I was a lousy law student that graduated near the bottom of my class from a lower tier law school... Did pass the bar first time.
That being said, I did part time law school, working a full time job, working a part time job as a reservist, raising two kids ect... I say this just to illustrate I'm not a D-Bag... I got where I wanted - but it wasn't pretty.
JAG is looking for law pedigree! Top schools, top of class, editor or law review, moot court, ect.... They bet on people that shine on paper at the moment. JAG used to look at more and it could change, but at the moment you need to shine on paper quantitatively.
I met with the prior CO of the the Navy Justice School in the past (no the present CO). He was very nice guy, decent officer, and he told me upfront - he thought I was wasting my time applying to Navy JAG. He told me flat out - he did not need me. He was right. Navy JAG is for active duty only - unless you are prior JAG. Navy JAG is looking for Harvard, Yale, Columbia, big schools and top grade - and they don't have to look hard because they can get it.
If you have those creds and and active Navy JAG is your bag, by all means throw your hat into the ring, but if you lack the law creds - look around.
There's a way, but it might not be Navy JAG.
