Can an NCO give you a "lawful" order to talk to civilian police about a personal investigation? I feel that violates my civic rights. Also I refused to speak with that NCO about the investigation over the weekend after the fact. Can NCO'S give you a lawful order about non-military related matter? Do they have jurisdiction at all in those matters and do i have to talk to them? And if I don't is, that grounds for UCMJ? Shes trying to throw in that I disrespected her for not talking to her about it as well .

I guess I need to point out that there is a difference between self incrimination and not cooperating with an investigation. You are not required to answer questions that may show your guilt and if it were anything beyond a speeding ticket, I would get a lawyer to be there during the interview. You NCO certainly has the right to know at least the nature of the investigation and is probably directed by the COC to report certain civilian legal events, especially any involving drugs, alcohol or any domestic incident. Beyond that, again, consult with a lawyer.
There is damn little that the military considers outside of their authority when you sign on the line.
