Representative John Spratt, Proudly Serving the People of the 5th District of South Carolina image of Capitol

Military

Today, our nation is demanding much of our military. Despite the many hardships that confront military families, our servicemembers and reservists have embraced their duty and are serving their country with pride and courage.

If you are a resident from the 5th Congressional District of South Carolina serving in the military and have tried unsuccessfully to resolve a problem through your chain of command, I would be happy to see if there is anything my office could do to help. While we welcome calls from concerned relatives, the Privacy Act dictates that to ask for detailed information, we must work directly with the servicemember. If you would like us to initiate an inquiry on your behalf, information on how to open a case file can be found on my casework web page.

I hope the following resources will be helpful to you. If I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact my office.
