A separation board is not a court-martial. If you hear that you are facing a court-martial, you should not contact anyone other than a military defense lawyer before you speak with any law enforcement, unit personnel, or friends about your pending allegations.
A court-martial has jail or military prison implications associated with it. Any statements you give to anyone other than a military criminal defense lawyer you are seeking to have represent you can and will be used against you.
