<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ask for a VTC deposing. It is legal and allowable as long as there is a JAG in the room to swear the oath

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had a coworker in the same situation. VTC was the answer. Of course, my coworker was the pregnant one, so doctor's orders overruled the JAG's desire to have her physically present.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Communicate with your JAG, I&#39;ve seen court-martials get rescheduled for all kinds of reasons. They may also let you do it via VTC.
