Successful Career Paths There is no “magic” path. However, recent promotion boards provide some important takeaways: Diversity of jobs – embed and LC and MOB/DEP Don’t homestead – if more than 3+ consecutive years in a unit or LOD, you need to move Leadership jobs are important – BJA, GJA, CJA, SJA, Tm Ldr, Dep Cdr LOD, Cdr LOD, Mil JudgeDon’t wait to get leadership jobs or deploy

Mobilization and Deployment Volunteer ! Seek out and accept the challenge! Leaders: Identify talent for MOB/DEP – your recommendation is required by TJAG – your job as a Leader is to send them and test them; they will return to you better, stronger and more qualified than when you sent themMobilization and Deployment (MOB/DEP) is where you put your hard earned readiness and professionalism to work for the Army’s missionIt is the ultimate test of readiness for a Soldier/LawyerYour performance of duty on MOB/DEP become one of the benchmarks for your potential for leadership in the JAG Corps12
