ARMY & AIRFORCE EXCHANGE SERVICE - AAFES

Applicants can expect a career that offers meaningful work from day one, with opportunities to practice across many areas of law, see the world, and advance professional growth.

• Citizen of the United States.
• Graduate of an ABA‑approved law school and admitted to practice law in the highest court of any U.S. state, commonwealth, territory or the District of Columbia.
• Commissioned before the age of 40.
• Complete and pass an Air Force medical examination.

Initial active duty commitment is four years, beginning on the day you depart for Officer Training School (OTS). The service commitment is incurred only upon acceptance of the JAG assignment.

If selected for a direct appointment and you are prior active duty, National Guard or Reserve, your length of service is credited for pay purposes. Prior commissioned service can also advance entry grade and date of rank, and all active duty service is credited toward retirement.

Selection boards are held in February, April, August and November. Applications must be submitted online on or before the 10th of the month prior to the board (January 10, March 10, July 10, October 10). In addition to your online application, you must schedule a hiring interview with a Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) at any Air Force Base (AFB) through the application system.

The interview must be completed on or before the first of the month of the board (February 1, April 1, August 1, November
1).

After the interview, the SJA will prepare a report forwarded to HQ USAF/JAX. Do not mail application materials directly to HQ USAF/JAX. If you need to add materials to your application after submission, contact the SJA who conducted your interview. No additional materials will be accepted after the first of the month that the board meets.

Use the online application system to choose the AFB where you would like to interview. Once you submit your application, the SJA or SJA representative will contact you to schedule an interview before the board date. A map of all AFB locations is available at BASE LOCATIONS.

Recommendation letters should be written by individuals who can attest to your work ethic, duty performance, and leadership potential, and should be addressed to 'Selection Board Members.' Do not mail recommendation letters directly to the selection board; upload them as part of your online application.
