The biggest mistake service members make under military investigation is talking too much. Gonzalez & Waddington warn that “just explaining” during AR 15-6, command-directed, or administrative inquiries often creates statements used for GOMORs, Article 15, separation, or court-martial.

Quick answers
Should I talk to a military investigator to clear my name?
Usually no. Unscripted statements during command or AR 15-6 investigations are often used against you later. Get counsel before you speak.
What can a command investigation lead to?
A GOMOR, Article 15 or NJP, separation board, Board of Inquiry, clearance action, promotion harm, retirement loss, or court-martial referral.
