[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does JAG now pay for all of law school, too, on top of ROTC paying for her Ivy undergrad? Google has conflating info.

I was under the idea ROTC locks her in for 3-4 years of active duty, plus JAG locks you in for 3 years. Does that mean she's kicking the can down the street on 6-7 years of active duty...or you serve those concurrently (so only 3-4 years total)...or is there some way she's going to weasel out of all of it?[/quote]

No.  There is a special program that will pay for law school--but, I don't think it piggybacks on ROTC undergrad.  (I may be wrong on that.  It is a selective program. I don't think the clerk had law school paid for.

It is unclear from the limited reporting when she took the ROTC scholarship.  I got the impression that she did not take it in her freshman year.

The commitment does not lock you into 3-4 years of Active Duty (those rules have changed over the years).  Not sure that JAG locks you in for any longer.

The ROTC commitment can be either active or reserve (the R in ROTC stands for Reserve).  2nd Lts attend their branch training lt's course as Active Duty.  If they are on Active Duty, then they go to their first assignment.  If Reserve duty, they go one weekend per month to "drill," and two weeks per year to Annual Training.  
If they do not serve on Active duty, the Reserve commitment is eight years.  If Active duty, it is 3-4 years and then they  can go in Reserves or IRR (Individual Ready Reserve)  for the remainder of the commitment.  IRR means that you can be called up, if needed.

Not sure if the rules are different for JAG.  If law school was not paid for by Army, I would think it is the same as for other ROTC grads.[/quote]
