(2) In all other cases not covered by subsection (1) of this section, if the sentence of a special court-martial as approved by the convening authority includes a bad conduct discharge, whether or not suspended, the entire record shall be sent to the appropriate judge advocate of the state military forces concerned to be reviewed in the same manner as a record of trial by general court-martial. The record and the opinion of the judge advocate shall then be sent to the state judge advocate for review.
