I think almost all officer contracts have some sort of language that reads similar to this for a law contract, "I consent to serve on extended active duty for a minimum of (X months (42-months for...

By the time I got to law school, I still had some GI Bill money left over. When you go through PLC-Law, you are eligible for the Marine Corps Tuition Assistance Program (MCTAP). This program...

1. The other option for the JAG Corps is the Officer's Candidates Course (OCC). Most lawyers go through the PLC-Law program and hit OCS in between their first and second year of law school. OCC...

What sorts of info are you looking for? I went through the PLC-Law application process in 2004 and graduated from OCS in 2005. I graduated from law school last spring.

Unfortunately, there...

I think they told me - I'm pretty sure it was updated on WAVE. If you are in the middle of the semester, they will continue to pay you for the remainder of the semester, even if it takes you over 36...

Many thanks!

One of my favorites on WWII:

"Once a Marine: The Memoirs of General A.A. Vandegrift, Commandant of the U.S. Marines in WWII"

Admin sep boards and medical boards can get a little complicated. I've seen a number of cases where a Marine is experiencing pain and he can't pass a PFT - all sorts of things can happen. I don't...

1) The OCS platoon is structured differently than a platoon at boot camp. If I recall correctly (its been almost 10 years), a boot camp platoon has four drill instructors led by a senior drill...

1) I'll defer to your OSO on the drilling with the Reserve unit issue. I only know of one other law student that drilled with a Reserve unit. He was prior enlisted and was drilling with his old unit....

I recently graduated from law school. I went to OCS in the summer of 2005 after my first year. I just went through most of this, so feel free to ask any questions. I'll answer what I can and refer...

Yes, the statement is admissible at the court-martial. It's an exception to the hearsay rule called an "admission by party-opponent." Military Rule of Evidence 801 (d)(2). It could also possibly be...

You should track down Zell Miller's book "Corps Values: Everything You Need to Know I Learned In the Marines."

That's an awesome book that I'm sure expresses many of the sentiments that you will...

Poskew - the Marine Corps' zero tolerance policy is serious business. Stay away from Marines that even talk about drugs. But, to answer your question, apparently there are Marines out there trying to...

Congratulations on your decision to enlist and your MOS selection. Take a look around threads in the Poolee Hall - I'm certain there are a number of threads discussing the 0231 MOS. Here is one - I...

I will add one thing about the requirements. You have to go through a screening board and I've heard some funny stories about the questions you are asked. I won't say what they are, but be prepared...

Well...I had typed a big long response, but the web browser froze and I lost it.

Anyways, I'm going to attach a bunch of links and let you guys do the reading. They are much more informative than...

I was an 0231 for 6 years on active duty and in the reserves, before I went to OCS. I've had a number of poolees send me private messages asking about the 0231 field, so I'll post some of what I've...
