A quick definition of land scrip:

Land Scrip: A special paper that allows a person or company to own a certain amount of public land. It is usually given to those who provide public services.

A more thorough explanation:

LAND SCRIP

Land scrip is a type of negotiable instrument that gives the holder, typically a person or company involved in public service, the right to own specific areas of public land.

A railroad company may receive land scrip from the government as a reward for building a new railway line. This land scrip would entitle the company to claim a certain amount of public land along the route of the railway.
A homesteader may receive land scrip as a form of payment for their work on public land. This land scrip would allow them to claim a specific area of land as their own.

These examples illustrate how land scrip can be used to transfer ownership of public land to private individuals or companies. It was often used as a way to incentivize development and settlement of new areas.

If you do it from the attorney side you will be skirting the left and right limits of laws like the NDAA to conduct domestic espionage or how to kidnap or spy on people in foreign countries without committing war/international crimes. JAG would be very very general and location based. At one unit you can be the personal attorney to a commander not even having your own office or desk, next one you can be leading the prosecution of terrorist and rapist and the next one be the legal OK for drone striking people. It is a very varied job you have little control over.

The last jag I worked with had a folding picnic table as his desk and had to bring his office chair home every night because people would steal it and he hated using a bucket as a seat. All he did was keep commanders from being fired cause they kept doing illegal shit. It is a varied journey.

This is so true. I still have my folding table. I put alcohol on it now and it is my home bar.

For one I would try not asking questions that start with “How do you recommend grooming a child?”

EvolBunny

11:06

lol people just have bad connotations with it, is it grooming to have your kid play hockey with you and watch games so they want to play when they turn 6?

Dkk

11:06

@EvolBunny: Maybe, maybe but I think the TBI is better advice.

EvolBunny

11:07
