In dishonorable discharge, you lose your veteran benefits, cannot reenlist, and are often treated as a felon. In bad conduct discharges, you lose your veteran benefits, cannot reenlist, and are often treated as a felon, but you retain your honor.

Can you own a gun with a bcd?

Assuming that bcd is Bad Conduct Discharge, the answer is Maybe. A Bad Conduct Discharge ALONE does not prohibit possession of a firearm. Federal law (18 US Code 922) lists the conditions that WILL prohibit possessing a gun. Discharge from the military under Dishonorable conditions is one. However, a BCD is not a Dishonorable Discharge- it is a Discharge under other than Honorable conditions. HOWEVER- if the BCD resulted from a court martial finding of guilt, AND it was for a felony (punishable by a year or more in prison), then the CONVICTION will prohibit possessing a firearm.

Does a navy person who received a less than honorable discharge still receive a flag?

Yes, but not for members with Bad Conduct/Dishonorable. Members with and OTH (Other Than Honorable Discharges) are still eligible and can receive a burial flag. There are no laws that prevent someone from purchasing and draping a casket with a flag however one will not be provided military honors by the guard to fold and present it to the next of kin if you have a dishonorable discharge. You must have at least an Honorable or OTH discharge.


When one receives a Bad Conduct Discharge what VA benefits are retained?

A Bad Conduct Discharge, as opposed to a Dishonorable Discharge, is considered a separation under conditions Other Than Honorable. With an OTH discharge, the Department of Veterans Affairs makes the determination as to whether the OTH was based on conditions which would result in the forfeit of any or all VA benefits. The more serious offenses, such as desertion, mutiny, spying, etc., will result in loss of all benefits.


What are grounds for a dishonorable discharge?

Unbecoming conduct (criminal or immoral activity), AWOL, poor service record, basically anything that is deemed to put the military in a bad light could be grounds for a dishonorable discharge. In cases of criminal conduct you could be subject to military courtmartial if committed on post or while engaged in military activity. You would then be sentenced to military prison, and after serving time would be dishonorably discharged.

What kind of punishment can a sergeant first class get under Article 92?

I'd have to know what the order he violated was and who issued it, but if the SFC violated an order from a general he can get a dishonorable discharge and prison time; an order from a non-general officer can get the SFC a bad conduct discharge and prison time. This is not a good article for a senior NCO to violate.
