He then graduated from Communications-Electronics Systems School at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi.

He returned to the military as a U.S. Navy JAG officer from 1987-91. He was a criminal defense attorney who defended military personnel in a variety of special and general courts-martial in Norfolk, Virginia, and overseas, as well as a variety of administrative proceedings.
