<p>It is even more problematic than becoming a doctor. There are duty limitations before which you must have entered law school; I don’t remember exact age but something like two to six years after commissioning. In other words, if you graduate at age 22, fulfill your five-year commitment, you will barely have time to apply and get accepted to law school.</p>
<p>that’s not to say that you could not start applying from the fleet, but it is a difficult proposition.
Going straight after graduation is not an option, ABSENT unusual circumstances, e.g. you were restricted line for some reason or the other.
I don’t know for sure that is an option, but I’m sure it has happened at one time or the other.
In other words, if you want to go JAG your chances are MUCH better going to a civilian school and applying from school.</p>
