DRB DIGEST/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
DRB DOCKET 2012-051
Honorable; SPD code of JND, RE code of RE-1, and narrative reason of: Separation
BY DRB for Miscellaneous/General Reasons. Amend Separation Authority to: 12.B.12
CORRECTIONS
TIS 1 yrs, 11 months,2 days
Policy Implications _| None
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged from the Coast Guard Reserve for Misconduct in 2007 due to a pattern of
shirking.
Pursuant to Article 4.B.1 of the Reserve Policy Manual, COMDTINST M1001.28A, commands are required to
“monitor member participation” and “Correct performance deficiencies by timely counseling of members who
are not participating satisfactorily. Commands shall document all counseling in accordance with Preparation
and Submission of Administrative Remarks (CG-3307).” There is no record of the command complying with
these requirements prior to recommending the applicant for discharge. Additionally, the absence of a discharge
package and supporting documentation regarding notification of the intent to discharge and appropriate due
process being followed is problematic.
The Board notes that the applicant’s record indicates being involved in an alcohol incident as well as an
inappropriate relationship counseling, however there is no follow up information available and this was not the
purported grounds for discharge. In addition to the lack of supporting documentation, during the applicant’s 2
years as a drilling reservist, the applicant had satisfactory participation as noted on the annual point summary.
Therefore, the Board recommends that the applicant’s record be corrected to reflect an Honorable discharge due
to “convenience of the government” with SPD code JND, RE code of RE-1, and narrative reason of “Separation
for Miscellaneous/General Reasons.” The Board also recommends amending the separation authority to
COMDTINST M1000.6, 12.B.12.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Concur with Board. Aforesaid relief
is granted.

In the year of 2011, the applicant had two documented alcohol incidents and received NJP for the aforementioned UCMJ Articles 92, 107 and 128. As of ALCOAST 125/10, the SPD code of JND is prescribed for individuals with two accumulated alcohol incidents. The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.

Upon notification of the command’s intent to discharge the applicant, the applicant made a statement and objected to discharge. Despite the pattern of indebtedness, the Board finds that the applicant’s Narrative Reason for Separation of Misconduct is not properly aligned with separations stemming from financial irresponsibility. Discharge: No change 25.
