thanks.

maybe. My enlisted oath was to defend the Constitution and I didn’t have to study Constitutional law.

I should have researched before I asked the question

I checked the US Military Academy web site, and they don’t seem to have Constitutional law as a requirement.
It doesn’t seem to be offered even if you are a law major. Perhaps I missed it.

I have an email in to Staff Judge Advocate asking for clarification to include classes on UCMJ.

I checked the US Naval Academy web site and they do not offer a law degree. Constitutional law is not a core plebe course.

They do offer US Government and Constitutional Development under Humanities and Social Sciences.
Again, maybe I missed something.

Here’s how both get their JAGs

"My enlisted oath was to defend the Constitution and I didn’t have to study Constitutional law."

You don't need some liberal college professor to study Constitutional law. Anyone that can read can study supreme court cases.

You can start here: NATURAL LAW, NATURAL RIGHTS AND AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM

Also read about why MINOR V. HAPPERSETT IS BINDING PRECEDENT AS TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEFINITION OF A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

There was one other significant difference between the oath you took and the one I took.

Your oath included, "I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.", while mine did not.

A minor difference between us is that you took your oath at the beginning of each enlistment while I took mine once at commissioning.
