Role Overview

If the traditional civilian career path has left you wanting more, both personally and professionally, a JAG career will reinspire your love of the law. This lifestyle is the antidote to the day-in, day-out corporate grind. As a JAG you'll be doing meaningful work from day one—with opportunities to practice in almost every field, see the world, and become the lawyer you've always wanted to be.

Qualifications

Must be a citizen of the United States.
Must be a graduate of an ABA-approved law school and be admitted to practice law in the highest court of any U.S. state, commonwealth, territory or the District of Columbia.
Must be commissioned before the age of 40.
Once selected for the JAG Corps, applicants must complete and pass an Air Force medical examination before an offer of assignment is extended.

Service Commitment

You do not incur a service commitment until you accept your JAG assignment. The initial active duty commitment is four years, which begins on the day you depart for Officer Training School (OTS).

Prior Military Service

If you are selected for direct appointment and are prior active duty, National Guard or Reserve, you will be credited by length of service for pay purposes. Prior commissioned service can also advance entry grade and date of rank. All active duty service is credited toward retirement.

How to Apply

Selection boards are held in February, April, August and November.

Submit your application through the online application processing system on or before the 10th of the month (January 10, March 10, July 10, and October 10).

Schedule a hiring interview with a Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) at any Air Force Base (AFB) through the application system. The interview must be completed on or before the first of the month that the board meets (February 1, April 1, August 1, or November 1).

After the interview, the SJA will forward a report along with your application materials to HQ USAF / JAX. Do not mail materials directly to HQ USAF / JAX. Additional materials can be added by contacting the SJA who conducted your interview, but only before the first of the board month.

Recommendation Letters

Letters should be written by someone who can attest to your work ethic, duty performance, leadership potential, etc. Address all letters to "Selection Board Members." Upload them as part of your online application; do not mail them directly to the selection board.
