Oh man. Just got the call that I was selected as an alternate for Navy. I know its still an uphill battle, but after being rejected from all the services multiple times, it sure feels like a win.

Congrats! Your dedication paid off. I guess if they are on to notifying alternates, then the rest of us can stop refreshing our emails every 30 seconds and get some work done, and then strategize for the next board. Not sure how to overcome a suboptimal SI though . . .

I'm seeking some knowledge from the Army National Guard JAGS. I know Active usually has to wait a year for a school slot, is this the same with the Guard? Also, if I'm drilling will I get my O3 before I go? Thanks.

Deployments are normally 9-12 months. Depending what kind of deployment —- each is different. Something that doesn’t count as a « deployment » but still can happen is going to Korea, normally units will rotate from home base for 9-12 months. Sometimes there’s a base with buildings sometimes it’s tents.. there are less and less deployments now though.

I just spoke with the LT in the accessions office, and the results haven’t been approved by the JAG yet. However, he expects them early next week. Everyone hang in there, and good luck!
Thank You!

So just to be clear, sit-ups/curl-ups are DEFINITELY not part of the Navy's PRT anymore, right? Moving forward it looks like:

Pushups
Plank
One cardio event. Run/swim/row.

Just wanna make sure I'm not the guy who shows up at ODS having done only planks for the last six months and look like a fool.

Thanks--maybe there's still some hope for us SP applicants! Would have expected an email by now, one way or another.

I don't think the Navy sends out rejection emails. At least, I have never received one and I am certainly not a Navy JAG yet.

I also want to send out a congratulations to any Navy JAG selects for this cycle! There's obviously already a wealth of great information available on this board, but I'm a select from the last accessions board and am currently going through the commissioning process. Happy to answer any questions anyone might have on that front.

I got some Army National Guard JAGs here at DCC to answer these since this question got neglected:

1. Depends on the state, depends on your unit, and depends on how long your medical clearance takes. Some said it took them 4 months, some took well over a year from acceptance to being here at DCC.

2. No, drilling doesn't get you closer to O3. You don't start your clock towards O3 until you finish JAOBC.

If you log on to the JAG Corps Online Application, you'll see the board date posted in the upper right hand corner.

Correct. Sit-ups/curl-ups are not a part of the PRT anymore. We do planks now. However, be aware that at ODS you must do the run for cardio. The other options, like swim, bike and row are not available at ODS, but will be available once you get to your first command. So make sure you can score high enough on your run to pass the PRT at ODS. (Side note: Right now the PRT is a mock test at ODS, but I think it will become official again when the Navy starts lifting COVID restrictions in July).

Also, it may just have been my ODS class, but our chief LOVED making us do leg lifts/raises and burpees. They are not a part of the PRT, but life will be easier if you get good at those beforehand as well.

Are the standards the same for everyone at ODS or do they use the age brackets?

They use age brackets. It's been years since my time in Newport, but I can't imagine that's changed.

For Army JAG, are there any opportunities to eventually stabilize/homestead at a duty station instead of PCSing every 2 to 3 years? I wouldn't even mind staying at a bigger post like Bragg or Campbell and then just switching jobs every few years (you can pull that off with some enlisted careers).

Just a friendly reminder to the Navy JAGC selects that the Accessions info session is happening today at 1500. Check your email for the link.

Yes, it's by age and gender. MyNavy HR (https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/) is a great resource where you can find info about things like the PRT and uniforms.

Guide 5 of the PRT section on page 20 has the scoring breakdown, which you can find here: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-S ... ss/Guides/

For those who accepted pro-recs from the Navy, have you been assigned a recruiter yet?

2. No, drilling doesn't get you closer to O3. You don't start your clock towards O3 until you finish JAOBC.
Not quite, at least for Army Reservists, which I think functions the same as NG. Reservist JAs are eligible for promotion to O3 one year after their Commission date, BUT you have to have completed JAOBC and DCC to be promoted. So having a lot of time drilling (or just being in limbo post-Commission) before DCC/JAOBC is still beneficial, because it means you'll promote to O3 on the next board after JAOBC graduation, instead of 6-8 months later like the rest of the Reserve JAs in your class.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
