A quick definition of respite:

Respite means taking a break or a pause from something. It can also mean getting more time to do something. For example, if you have a lot of homework to do, you might ask your teacher for a respite to finish it. In some cases, respite can also mean getting a temporary break from a punishment or a delay in a court case. It can also refer to an agreement between someone who owes money and their creditors to give them more time to pay back what they owe.

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

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

EvolBunny

11:07
