If someone’s not working in biglaw or a legal-field that is just as competitive - time consuming - as biglaw, then where are they working? This is just a rhetorical question. Imagine a situation where a lawyer may be working for a small organization (perhaps small private practice). It’s hard for a small organization to deal with a reservist’s deployment - you just may not have personnel to spare. Obviously there could be small PDs out there, but it’s much easier to be a reservist when a very high percentage of you co-workers are reservists too and understand you situation.
I don’t think that the average lawyer does better (financially) than an ambitious, capable, and well connected law enforcement officer. Then again, I realize that I’m making a comparison akin to the average top 20 undergrad vs. the top public university undergrad.
I’m sure reporters will say “been there, done that”. They’re looking for corruption, not incompetence. Incompetence is everywhere in government; it’s all around me.
Not necessarily. IMA and GKO volunteer lists are not hard to get as an individual. All you have to do is volunteer. All I said that the deployment of entire MTOE units is slowing down, but that may change with the USAR depending on their funding/budget situation.</p>
