Quick answers

Should I talk to CID, NCIS, OSI, or CGIS after watching this?

No. Appear if ordered. Do not waive rights. Do not consent to a phone search. Invoke Article 31(b) and call counsel the same day.

What if investigators say they just want my side?

That is evidence collection. Do not clear it up. Stop talking, write a private timeline for counsel, and call Gonzalez & Waddington: 1-800-921-8607.
