Current service use not established
This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
A Navy officer classification, not an enlisted rating.
Overview
Attorneys entering the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps through the Direct Appointment Program already hold a bar license and practice before a federal or state court. They receive direct appointments as lieutenants junior grade in the U.S. Naval Reserve for eight years and serve on active duty for at least the first three or four years of that obligation.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 250X as: “A Judge Advocate General Corps Officer”
- The paired billet row (2500) is “requiring Law specialty”. a billet requirement, not a qualification conferred on every 250X officer.
- The designator row is an identity/qualification statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; duties depend on the billet and community qualification.
