EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs. The applicant’s complete
Personnel Data Record and Separation Package were available for the Board to review. The applicant was
stopped by the State Patrol. The officer found the applicant in possession of marijuana when conducting a field
sobriety test. The applicant was subsequently administered a drug test by the USCG. The sample returned a
positive result.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the rights to an attorney.
No objection or statement was made to the discharge.
The applicant has provided an attorney brief with items to oppose the final verdict in the summer of 2010
incident. The applicant also has a separate Board of corrections for Military Records from 2001 where proper
counseling is not documented. Neither of these points refute the positive drug test result, which identified the
applicant’s involvement with drugs that violates the Coast Guard’s drug policy.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief.
