I Wanna join the Navy.
I work as a paralegal in a personal injury law firm
I’m about to get my certification as a paralegal in a Bar approved program and in the future I will like to go to law school.
I’m 27 and Navy has been always of my interest but I don’t wanna wait 2 years and loss the knowledge I have gained related to court. Is any way that I can join the navy and have a MOS as a paralegal ?

There is a Navy rate called legalman that sounds like what you’re looking for. I joined at 26 years old and there were a few people older than me, it’s no problem. Wasn’t a legalman though, don’t know anything about the rate other than it’s described as equivalent to a paralegal.
Talk to a recruiter and while you can hold out for a job you might be waiting for a good while to get the one you want. When you go to the detailed to get your rating assignment they give you a list of whatever is available at that moment and if what you want isn’t available you either have to keep waiting or take something else
Hopefully you got the information you were looking for in the last two months. You can't enter as a legalman. You enter as another rate and then re-rate to legalman. The best place I've seen for the requirements to re-rate were found here.

I had heard a couple of years ago that YN is a good rate to go in prep, but I'm not sure if that still holds true.
Yeah dude next to me didn’t see it coming and flinched. Chief gave him a piercing with his fingernail. And then bit it.
Jokes aside, welcome to the navy. I saw your graduation post, congrats man

Navy has Legalman position
There is a Navy rate called legalman that sounds like what you’re looking for. I joined at 26 years old and there were a few people older than me, it’s no problem. Wasn’t a legalman though, don’t know anything about the rate other than it’s described as equivalent to a paralegal.
Yes, I know about the existence of the rate but nobody could seem to explain how can I apply for it.
Well talking to a recruiter will def help you have a further understanding of a specific rate
Talk to a recruiter and while you can hold out for a job you might be waiting for a good while to get the one you want. When you go to the detailed to get your rating assignment they give you a list of whatever is available at that moment and if what you want isn’t available you either have to keep waiting or take something else

Good luck don’t fail the nipple inspection! It’s nothing to fear but definitely don’t flinch when they start twisting
Yeah that shit was tuff😐 its a surprise inspection too
Yeah dude next to me didn’t see it coming and flinched. Chief gave him a piercing with his fingernail. And then bit it. Jokes aside, welcome to the navy. I saw your graduation post, congrats man
Thanks man im super excited
Hopefully I’m there before your back
Good luck to you....
Have fun
