RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the convening of the Academic Year
2019 (AY-19) Judge Advocate Generals Corps (JAGC) In-Service Procurement 
Program (IPP) Selection Board no earlier than February 2019.  The JAGC IPP 
provides outstanding career-motivated enlisted personnel of all ratings, who 
meet the eligibility criteria to earn a commission in the JAGC.  The AY-19 
board will accept applications for the funded legal education option and the 
direct commission option (DCO).  The deadline for submitting an application 
is 1 December 2018.  Applicants for the funded legal education option must 
begin law school no later than 30 September 2019.

2.  This program is open to active-duty and Navy full-time support enlisted 
Sailors in any rating in paygrades E-5 through E-7 at the time of the 
application.  Applicants must have served on active-duty for a period of no 
less than two years and no more than ten years at the time applications are 
due.  Members of the Individual Ready Reserve or Reservists serving on active 
duty for special work, active duty for training, or one-to-three year recalls 
are not eligible for this program.

3.  Reference (a) provides information on authorized program benefits, 
eligibility, obligated service, and program requirements.
Where information differs between this NAVADMIN and reference (a), this 
NAVADMIN takes precedence.  The requirement in reference (a) for funded legal 
education option applicants to submit at least one law school acceptance 
letter with the application is replaced by the requirements in paragraph 6c 
below to provide an acceptance letter before the board convenes.  No other 
waivers of application requirements will be granted.

4.  Application procedures are provided in reference (a) and this NAVADMIN.  
Further program information can be found at 
http://www.jag.navy.mil/careers_/careers/opportunities_ipp.html.

6.  Amplifying education information for the AY-19 board.
    a.  Law School Admission Test (LSAT) exam scores are required for all 
applicants.
    b.  All applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from a college or

schools attended.
    c.  Applicants applying to the funded legal education option must provide 
a prioritized list of U.S. law schools accredited by the American Bar

community manager (ECM).  To obtain a conditional release, an applicant must
