re-inspire your love of the law. This lifestyle is the antidote to

always wanted to be. QUALIFICATIONS APPLICANT REQUIREMENTS Must be

selected for the JAG Corps, all applicants must complete and pass
an Air Force medical examination before an offer of assignment will

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 APPLICATION PROCESS
