   Opinion of the Court

Darden, Judge:

The scrutiny given the providence of appellant’s plea of guilty to absence without leave, in violation of Article 86, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 886, is not so different from that found in United States v Care, 18 USCMA 535, 40 CMR 247, as to require a different result. Accordingly, the decision of the board of review is affirmed.

Chief Judge Quinn concurs.

Ferguson, Judge

(dissenting) :

I dissent for the reasons set forth in my separate opinion in United States v Care, 18 USCMA 535, 40 CMR 247. I would reverse the decision of the board of review and order' a rehearing.
