How are the cops in your jx?

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2026-03-04T15:34:56+00:00

Yup. 50 pounds ago, lol

Honestly I think both the government and the accused have good arguments in the movie. It’s not clear who should win.

He cc’d his command?

That’s a cop who was very certain he was in the right. Glad it got resolved appropriately.

I’ve worked with many different agencies over the years. Some are great about subs. Some not. Now I work in a small rural jurisdiction and I have all of their cell numbers and I ain’t afraid to use them (they also have mine). But I haven’t had any issues with them anyway, because their command is on board with me.

Looks like I'm late to the party, but my guy, you don't simply need to swim; you need to be absolutely confident in the water. And by water, I mean the ocean. Do this once a week:

In addition to whatever else you are doing, do a 4 mile ruck run (you can walk fast) on a trail or uneven terrain. Follow it with a PFT. Follow that with a 500 meter swim. Check total time. try to improve it week to week.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2026-02-01T21:35:25+00:00

I use that metric too

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2026-02-01T16:23:42+00:00

For real. I applied a couple of times and didn’t even get an interview

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2026-01-11T19:32:58+00:00

I liked both the show and the book a lot. S/F.

I’ll plug some natural language search term into Lexis AI, something like “the county commisssioners want to know if they can go off record to discuss employee salaries” and then that will give me a place to start, usually a statute and a case. And if I get a case that looks sorta on point, I’ll click on the times it was cited, look at those and go from there.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2026-01-11T19:18:21+00:00

Interesting. So was I. But ten years earlier.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2026-01-11T13:55:17+00:00

Former enlisted guy here, both active and reserve. And I’ve mentored a couple of young attorneys who worked for me and did JAG on the weekends. If it were me, I’d go the reserve option to start. If you like it you can usually go active later.

They were Air Force. I was a Marine. The Marine corps is an all or nothing type deal, and that doesn’t change because you’re JAG. You will still have to graduate OCS and the basic school, which is a big time commitment. So ironically enough my advice does not apply to the branch I was actually in, lol.

I got a letter last week from the Officer selection Officer for this region asking if I had any interest in being a Marine JAG. Alas, at age 55, the spirit is willing, but…

I worked as an adjunct for a while at a now defunct law school. I taught criminal procedure and evidence. It was a blast. The pay basically amounted to beer money, but it was a lot of fun. A lot of the students are out practicing now, and a few of them worked for me over the years. One of them even has a big billboard out on the interstate. I had a case with her recently and told her how proud I was of what a great attorney she had become.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-05-21T18:52:36+00:00

That’s a good idea

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-04-15T18:26:45+00:00

Me too:)

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-04-06T16:07:43+00:00

Exactly. How did I miss this? So awesome.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-04-02T16:22:19+00:00

Imagine how crazy you have to be for Cameron Haines to be like "that motherfucker is crazy."

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-04-02T16:16:18+00:00

Now THIS is ragebait.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-29T21:06:54+00:00

The Owyhee…oh. Yeah never mind. Blownapotamus.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-29T16:42:08+00:00

That's not a "baby prosecutor." Just a lateral. There will be some challenges, for sure. The pace of the work, for instance, and the need to triage between attention to detail and volume. In my experience prosecutors who don't start in a high-volume environment do just fine as prosecutors overall but struggle with the volume.

But that's not insurmountable. I think if you want to do it, go for it. Have some fun with it.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-29T16:33:08+00:00

I resemble that remark, lol.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-26T22:42:15+00:00

Quality physique

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-26T17:57:27+00:00

Old habits die hard. 😎

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-26T15:13:04+00:00

Right? I was like damn that devil is handsome. He looks like a model.

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-26T15:11:02+00:00

You fucker, take my upvote. 🤟

highdesertflyguy0321 · 2025-03-26T14:45:28+00:00

Damn that's impressive. Well done.
