The Truth About Military Investigations

When you’re under investigation in the military, the worst mistake you can make is assuming it’ll all go away on its own. It won’t.

In this episode of Off the Record, I’m pulling back the curtain on military investigations—the way they actually work, not the version they want you to believe. We’re talking about:

• The biggest misconception service members have about military investigations
• Why your chain of command won’t save you once an allegation is made
• How NCIS, CID, and OSI build cases in silence—while you think nothing is happening
• The surprising ways service members incriminate themselves without realizing it
• Why thinking “I’ll handle this on my own” is a one-way ticket to disaster

Here’s the reality: once you’re accused, you go from “outstanding service member” to a liability overnight. They start digging into your life—your phone, your bank records, your past. They talk to your friends, your family, even your exes. And when they’re ready? They drop the hammer fast, and you don’t even see it coming.

If you’re under investigation, you need to stop hoping for the best and start preparing for the fight ahead. Because in the military justice system, hope won’t save you—but the right defense will.
