00:04.270 --> 00:06.492
Growing up , I saw a lot of individuals

00:06.492 --> 00:08.381
that didn't have a voice in their

00:08.381 --> 00:11.270
communities . That led me to become an

00:11.270 --> 00:14.650
attorney and into the Jack core from an

00:14.650 --> 00:16.483
early age , my mexican immigrant

00:16.483 --> 00:18.800
parents spoke to me about what justice

00:18.800 --> 00:21.270
meant . And so from a very early age ,

00:21.280 --> 00:25.020
I wanted to practice law in the Jag

00:25.020 --> 00:28.330
corps . No day is typical . We give

00:28.340 --> 00:30.562
full spectrum legal advice to the Space

00:30.562 --> 00:32.890
Force and the Air Force before becoming

00:32.890 --> 00:35.620
a Jag was a civilian attorney . It just

00:35.620 --> 00:37.731
wasn't for me long term . I wanted to

00:37.731 --> 00:39.898
do something different . Came into the

00:39.898 --> 00:42.120
Air Force right out of the gates , went

00:42.120 --> 00:43.898
to being a prosecutor , so many

00:43.898 --> 00:46.120
opportunities to do different things on

00:46.120 --> 00:48.500
a daily basis and it's very fulfilling

00:48.510 --> 00:50.677
to know . So that what we're doing has

00:50.677 --> 00:52.925
such significance , providing sound

00:52.925 --> 00:55.036
legal advice to commanders who are on

00:55.036 --> 00:57.369
the front lines is a big responsibility .

00:57.369 --> 00:59.481
Were well trained , well equipped for

00:59.481 --> 01:01.647
this . So when I'm in that moment it's

01:01.647 --> 01:03.536
easy to thrive in it . There's an

01:03.536 --> 01:05.369
incredible amount of trust . The

01:05.369 --> 01:07.592
commander is put in the advice that you

01:07.592 --> 01:09.703
give to earn that trust . You have to

01:09.703 --> 01:11.536
be dedicated , but you are never

01:11.536 --> 01:13.647
without a resource or someone to call

01:13.810 --> 01:16.200
in the Jag Corps legal assistance . We

01:16.200 --> 01:18.200
make sure that our airmen are taken

01:18.200 --> 01:20.367
care of so they can truly focus on the

01:20.367 --> 01:22.660
mission . The Jag Corps encompasses

01:22.670 --> 01:24.337
what we call the whole Airmen

01:24.337 --> 01:26.503
leadership has always encouraged me to

01:26.503 --> 01:28.726
take the time that I need to see family

01:28.726 --> 01:30.837
and prioritize them . You're going to

01:30.837 --> 01:33.059
be more efficient when you make it home

01:33.059 --> 01:35.003
in time for dinner , spend quality

01:35.003 --> 01:37.480
weekends with your family . The Jag

01:37.480 --> 01:40.070
Corps teaches you it's not about

01:40.080 --> 01:43.830
winning necessarily , or numbers or

01:43.830 --> 01:46.052
anything like that . The military judge

01:46.052 --> 01:48.163
has instructed . It's about doing the

01:48.163 --> 01:50.330
right thing and doing it in a way that

01:50.330 --> 01:52.608
serves Justice Captain Marcus Williams ,

01:52.608 --> 01:54.663
Captain Alexis Brown , Major Vincent

01:54.663 --> 01:56.886
sage , major marisol salvia , Who And I

01:56.886 --> 01:59.108
am a Jag . I am a Jag and I'm a Jag and

01:59.108 --> 02:01.108
I am a Jag in the United States Air

02:01.108 --> 02:00.360
Force .
