http://www.acpol.army.mil To answer you're other question, yes being a lawyer is the best way to be a better lawyer. There are alternatives, but the best way to be a good runner is to run, period. If it snows outside, try to jog in place untill you get a thaw.
better to be deliver pizza than be homeless and better to be a paralegal than deliver pizza. People just get a bug up their butt and refuse to do what they need to do vs what they want to do. You see that in all carrier fields too. I know a lot of laid off manual labor workers who REFUSE govt grants to go back to school for free to learn new trades. People get stubborn, people get stupid. People fail.
Remember a lawyer who works as a legal secretary is still a licensed lawyer passing time untill something better comes up, a legal secretary who skipped lawschool can only say "yes I'd love that lawyer job....give me 3 years to get ready..
