I've scheduled an initial interview for JAG marine officers in 2 weeks. I'm just interested to know if any ex JAG officers who went into the marines right after law school, were able to find work easily after leaving the corps? Was the experience beneficial for you in getting a civilian job, seeing as you mostly worked with military law?

JAGs don't just work with military law..but also federal law (military courts are Federal courts) and are also involved in Contract and Acquisitions law...which is where you could potentially find your experience beneficial.

As most deploy they get experience in international and treaty law also. Every operational plan is combed over by JAGs for legitimacy and legality.
