RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the convening of the FY-18 Judge Advocate 
Generals Corps (JAGC) In-Service Procurement Program (IPP) Selection Board no 
earlier than February 2018.  The JAGC IPP provides outstanding, career-
motivated enlisted personnel of all ratings, who meet the eligibility 
criteria, the opportunity to earn a commission in the JAGC.  The FY-18 board 
will accept applications for the funded legal education option and the direct 
commission option (DCO).

2.  This program is open to active-duty enlisted Sailors and Navy full-time 
support personnel in any rating or military occupational specialty in the 
paygrades of 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 2 years and no more 
than 10 years at the time of application due date, 1 December 2017.  Members 
of the individual ready reserve or serving on active-duty for special work, 
active duty for training, or 1 to 3 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 is 
replaced by the requirements in paragraph 6c below.  No other waivers 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.

5.  Applicants must not have reached their 42nd birthday by the time of 
initial appointment.  This requirement will not be waived.

6.  Amplifying education information for the FY-18 board.
    a.  Law School Admission Test (LSAT) exam scores are required for all 
applicants.
    b.  All applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited 
institution.  Applicants must submit their official transcripts for all 
degrees earned and a complete list of all 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

applicants must also apply to one school located in a fleet concentration 
area (i.e. Norfolk, VA, Jacksonville/Mayport, FL, San Diego, CA, Pearl 
Harbor, HI, or Washington, DC).  NOTE:  Current regulations limit total 
Navy-funded tuition and fees payment to a maximum of $25,000.00 per term, 
semester or quarter.  As a result, year 1 per term tuition and fees cannot

in year 2 and 3.  Applicants must provide a copy of any acceptance letters 
received prior to the convening of the selection board.

standing from the licensing authority admitting the applicant to the practice 
of law before a federal court or the highest court of a state, a U.S. 
territory, the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia.

nuclear Navy enlisted classification (335X, 336X, 338X, 339X) and are 
applying for the FY-18 JAGC IPP Selection Board must obtain conditional 
release from nuclear field duty prior to submitting their application for

6f:  Applicants under obligated training require conditional release from 
their enlisted community manager (ECM).  To obtain a conditional release, an
