Dear Mr. President, My name is Nicolas James Fernandez. My request is in regards to your speech given recently on criminal justice reform. The President wants everyone to have a second chance for an equal opportunity, who has been convicted of a non-violent drug offense. Please include all former U.S. Military the same, who were the subject for receiving a Bad-Conduct Discharge for article 112a of the UCMJ. This offense is the most non-violent drug offense of all. For this reason I ask that all Military who have a Bad-Conduct Discharge for committing this offense, to all finally be spared with a "second chance".
In order for all former military to have a "second chance", their Bad-Conduct Discharge would have to "automatically" be upgraded to an Honorable Discharge. The BCNR isn't help.
