Active Duty JAG Question

I'm a PLC-Law applicant and will be a 2L in 2 weeks, once these finals are over and done. I'm looking for some information regarding specific questions about alternate MOSs available within Jag. More specifically, I'm a joint JD/LLM student and am wondering about what specific legal opportunities exist in the JAG program other than the normal route as a prosecutor. Any active duty JAGs' opinions would be much appreciated.

I hear LT Kaffee is looking for a new partner. I think this would be be a major opportunity for any 2nd year law student.

He'll dazzle you with terms like "Code Red."
This should help you get an idea:
https://www.tbs.usmc.mil/Pages/MyMOS/All_MOS_FAQ_Detail.asp?MOSid=4402

This seems to address your question a little bit more specifically:
Typically the judge advocate will be provided an opportunity to work in a number of different jobs during his or her first tour. The jobs may include trial counsel, defense counsel, legal assistance officer, assistant staff judge advocate, and review officer. The intent is to expose the judge advocate to variety jobs and responsibilities to ensure diversity and experience.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "different MOS within JAG," but other legal billets (e.g. legal assistance, staff judge advocate, etc.) within JAG other than prosecutor would still fall within the 4402 MOS.

Also, get used to the "A Few Good Men" jokes, and feel free to respond with references to pilots and homerotic volleyball games.

Just because it's called airwarriors doesn't mean everyone here is as ignorant as you... as was already shown above.

Right...ignorant...like asking a specific question regarding a comparatively small specialty field in a forum focusing on NAVAL AVIATION. Then getting bent out of shape over a few quips.

Lighten up Francis.

And enjoy the vacation. When you come back, think before posting. See ya in 3 days.
