   So has Major Briggs been through the black lodge?

If he has, that's probably classified.  (I'm not being as facetious
here as it might seem--there's nothing that says that you go directly
from the Black Lodge to the White Lodge, only that one happens before
the other.  He could have been there years ago, and maybe not even
remember it, or at least not feel it's necessary to divulge how and
when he got there.)
