GIERKE, Judge
(concurring in part and in the result):
I agree with the result in this ease. I also agree with the majority’s conclusion that the evidence was admissible as a prior inconsistent statement under Mil.R.Evid. 613 or as *312an admission under Mil.R.Evid. 801(d)(2). Finally, I agree with the majority’s holding that appellant waived any objection under Mil.R.Evid. 609 by testifying about the conviction on direct-examination. We need not decide whether the evidence was admissible under the common law theory of impeachment by contradiction, and I do not join that portion of the majority opinion.
