Every JAG Corps Attorney is unique, but they share some of the same qualities: leadership, responsibility and discipline to name a few. From the start, Officers will find the JAG Corps environment challenging yet supportive, and the opportunity to learn varied aspects of the law invigorating. There's no better way to get an inside look at the JAG Corps experience than through the eyes of current Officers. Each of them has their own story of how they've grown personally and professionally by taking advantage of the JAG Corps opportunity.

Captain Trey Alford believes he made the right decision in choosing the JAG Corps over civilian practice. | |  | CPT Kay Wakatake
Medical Law Counsel
When Captain Kay Wakatake told her law school classmates that she was joining the Army JAG Corps instead of civilian practice, they warned she'd be "missing out." After four years of building her legal career in the Army, she knows she hasn't missed a thing. | |  | CPT Abraham Carpio
Government Appellate Counsel
Captain Abraham Carpio chose the JAG Corps over civilian practice because of the immediate experience in a wide range of law. | |  | CPT Geraldine Chanel
Procurement Fraud Counsel
Some lawyers embark on their careers to see what they can do for themselves. And others, like Captain Geraldine Chanel, set out to make a difference while serving their country. | |  | CPT Christina French
Prosecutor
In the JAG Officer's Basic Course, Captain Christina French learned the many facets of being a Soldier, and in the JAG School, she learned about military law. Her time at OBC and the JAG School wasn't just about training, it was also an opportunity to meet new people and expand her circle of professional colleagues and personal friends. | |  | CPT Chris Haines
Labor Law Counsel
Captain Chris Haines' path to the JAG Corps was a unique one. After attending law school, he worked in civilian practice for two years. Unfortunately he was not satisfied with civilian practice. | |  | MAJ Robert Vasquez
LL.M. Candidate, Military Law
In the JAG Corps, Major Vasquez has enjoyed practicing a wide range of law. From criminal and consumer law to family law and federal tort claims litigation, he is always learning something new. |
