text: If you think you are correct call the IG.\n\nHowever (speaking as a former IG myself) I advise you _not_ to get your congressional representative involved.  An IG can fix something like this with a phone call - calling a congressman starts a three-ring circus that takes months to resolve.  For example - if you call your congressman, nobody can now tell you anything.  All information has to go up the chain of command (and get reviewed by every person as it goes up) until it gets to the congressman.  Then the congressman's office may or may not actually tell the soldier.
