Obtained upgrade from Bad Conduct Discharge to General for former Army NCO

Mr. Cassara represented a former Army NCO who had been convicted at court-martial of drunk driving while in Japan, after he had received two Article 15’s for the drunk driving. The NCO received a bad conduct discharge at court-martial.  Mr. Cassara petitioned the Army Discharge Review Board and, after a personal appearance in Washington, D.C., his discharge was upgraded to General (Under Honorable Conditions.) This may allow the NCO to reenlist and finish his career in the reserves, to obtain VA benefits he had lost, and to possibly obtain federal employment. None of which would likely have happened he still had the BCD.
