A Dishonorable Discharge is the the worst fate conceivable.
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.
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.
You cannot own a firearm with a dishonorable discharge, which is the most severe discharge there is. However, a "less than honorable" is not the same as a "dishonorable" discharge. If the discharge resulted from a court martial, and the service member was convicted of a crime that would be a felony (punishable by a year or more in prison) then you should consult an attorney for legal advice.
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.
Yes, the DD Form 214, also known as the Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, provides information about the type of discharge a service member received. It includes a specific section that indicates the character of service, such as Honorable, General, Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct, or Dishonorable. This form is essential for veterans as it is often required for benefits and services.
you lose access to any potential benefits with a dishonorable discharge, HOWEVER, you CAN apply to have your discharge upgraded to other than honorable, general, honorable etc.
If you have an other-than-honorable discharge (general or dishonorable) from the military, you are generally ineligible for a law enforcement job.
Military pay ends on the date of discharge, for honorable, general under honorable, general under less than honorable, and dishonoralbe discharges. There are no residual benefits for less than honorable or dishonorable discharges.
Honorable, General, General Under Honorable, Medical, Bad Conduct, Chapter (most of which fall under General), Other-Than-Honorable, and Dishonorable.
Yes as long as the discharge does not smell bad or worse than your period and should only last a couple of days. If longer than two days go to the doctor.
Yes. Battery is where u hurt people and is worse wherein assault is making someone fear for their life and disorderly conduct is just not adhering to basic common sense laws.
They must not have been discharged from service for bad conduct or other dishonorable conditions If the leave period was less than 31 days
