I would also suggest the following:
"Sten" series and "Star Risk LTD" by Chris Bunch
"Vorkosigan Saga" by Lois McMaster Bujold
"Quadrail" series and "Conqueror" series by Timothy Zahn

John G. Hemry did two-three books that were basically JAG in space. I liked them. The bean counters didn't, which is why there's only two-three of them. (The same author hit with a more formulaic conventional premise under the name of Jack Campbell. Couldn't get into the first one. Tired of people killing each other in uniform.)
