\u00a0Application instructions:<\/p>\n
\u00a0As a 3L, you may apply for the Direct Appointment Program (DAP).\u00a0 Your selection would be contingent on you obtaining your law license and passing a medical qualification screening.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Our next DAP selection board will occur in April 2013.\u00a0 To apply, you will need to accomplish the application materials and do a Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) interview at an Air Force Base.\u00a0 An SJA is the JAG in charge of any given Air Force base legal office.\u00a0 You must submit your application materials to the SJA with whom you interview.\u00a0 The SJA, in turn, will send your application materials, along with a brief write up of your interview, to our office at HQ by 1 April.\u00a0 To afford the SJA adequate time to submit your application by 1 April, we require that you schedule your interview by 15 March. I recommend getting everything done earlier than 15 March because SJA interview schedules tend to fill up around that time.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Application materials can be accessed here (also available in the Career Planning Office):<\/p>\n

The second link above opens a PDF file that lists all the bases (along with their respective phone numbers) to help you determine the most convenient base to contact for your interview. Remember, you will be submitting your application materials to the SJA with whom you interview.<\/p>\n If you schedule the interview for earlier than 15 March (recommended), be sure to give yourself adequate time to complete your application materials by the interview date.\u00a0 NOTE:\u00a0 MAC computers tend to have compatibility issues; we are working out those issues.\u00a0 In the meantime, we recommend accessing the above links with a PC.<\/p>\n \u00a0If you are selected, you must pass a medical qualification screening.\u00a0 Once you have passed your medical qualification screening and completed your legal licensing requirements, you are able to enter active duty beginning with your initial officer training at Commissioned Officer Training (COT). After COT, you will attend your initial JAG training at the JAG School (the Judge Advocate Staff Officer Course or JASOC).\u00a0 Learn more about COT and JASOC here:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.airforce.com\/jag\/careers\/JAG_training<\/a>.\u00a0 Your initial service commitment is 4 years active duty.\u00a0<\/p>\n For more information about the JAG Corps, please visit www.airforce.com\/jag or<\/a> http:\/\/www.jagusaf.hq.af.mil\/<\/a>.
