To upgrade a bad conduct discharge, you can apply for a discharge review through the appropriate military branch’s Discharge Review Board (DRB) or the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR). This process typically involves submitting a formal application that includes supporting documentation, such as evidence of rehabilitation or character references. It's essential to demonstrate that the discharge was unjust or that you have made significant positive changes since the discharge. Consulting with a legal advisor or veterans’ organization can also be helpful in navigating this process.
A Dishonorable Discharge is the the worst fate conceivable.

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.
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.
