This episode of ''Series/{{JAG}}'' starts with Commander Rabb starring in Renee Peterson's newest Navy recruitment video. At the same time, a female enlisted crewman, Seaman Granato (Creator/PaigeMoss), has had enough of being on deck swabbing duty, and just walks off, going absent without leave (AWOL).

Rabb and Lt. Colonel [=MacKenzie=] track Granato down to persuade her to return to her ship before Unauthorized Absence (a minor offense usually warranting only non judicial punishment) becomes upgraded to Desertion, which is a felony carrying serious prison time.

Rabb's taking part in a Navy recruitment commercial further erodes trust between him and the seaman, as she feels that Rabb is complicit in the Navy deceiving her, and therefore cannot objectively defend her.

* DoubleStandard: The female skipper of Granado's ship apparently gave her female subordinates harsher punishments for the same offenses compared to her male crewmen, [[FridgeLogic because women have to work twice as harder to get by in the male dominated Navy, so they must also be more severely deterred from mistakes, as one mistake has more severe career consequences for women compared to men.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: Seaman Granada wasn't sent to Air Traffic Control school as was promised, but the Navy did offer her other schools that would have been interesting and challenging careers, such as Aviation Electronics Technician school, Radarman school etc. But she turned down all of them, because she wanted ''only'' air traffic control school. And when she didn't get it, she deserted her ship.

This episode of ''Series/{{JAG}}'' starts with Harm starring in Renee Peterson's newest Navy recruitment video. At the same time, a female enlisted crewman, Seaman Granato, has enough of being on deck swabbing duty, and just walks off, going AWOL.

Commander Rabb and Lt. Colonel [=MacKenzie=] track Granato down to persuade her to return to her ship before Unauthorized Absence (a minor offense usually warranting only non judicial punishment) becomes upgraded to Desertion, which is a felony carrying serious prison time.

However, Granato claims that the Navy lied to her during her recruitment -- by promising her a career in air traffic control, but ultimately sending her to regular electronics technician school. She therefore feels that the Navy owes her a discharge. Her claim is complicated by her destroyer's skipper -- a hard nosed female commander, who is being harsher on her because she doesn't want to coddle her female subordinates.

Meanwhile, Admiral Chegwidden helps out an old friend of his, Captain Peter Tully (Joel Higgins), an aviator who has to go to a flight evaluation board because he used Viagra too soon before flying and had a little accident. Chegwidden goes to consult Dr. Walden (Creator/CynthiaSikes), a civilian urologist, and falls in love with her despite their awkward meeting.
