EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct for admitting to use of Marijuana, and willfully transporting and
possessing Methamphetamine in the Spring of 2012. The applicant’s car was stopped on a routine traffic stop
by a County Sheriff. The applicant revealed to the deputy of smoking marijuana in the vehicle earlier that day.
A search of the vehicle found a lemonade bottle containing Methamphetamine. Further investigation by officers
showed text messaging consistent with the intent to sell narcotics. This led to the applicant’s passenger
admitting to the substance being their own by saying “It’s mine, book me”.
Pursuant to policy, the applicant was recommended for Discharge due to a drug incident. The applicant did
object to the command’s discharge notification, but provided nothing on their behalf to negate the verbal
statement admitting to the usage of marijuana. Back in 2011, the applicant also received NJP for Unauthorized
absence in which a reduction from E3 to E2 was executed.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
Coast Guard policy prescribes no higher than a General, Under Honorable Conditions character of service for
individuals separated as a result of violating the Coast Guard’s drug policy. The Coast Guard has zero tolerance
for drug abuse. The General, Under Honorable Conditions discharge is equitable.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief.
