The sentence adjudged was a bad-conduct discharge, confinement and forfeiture of $175 pay per month for 6 months, and reduction to airman basic. The convening authority approved the sentence; and the Court of Military Review affirmed the findings and sentence, Judge Kastl dissenting, 29 MJ 589 (1989).
