EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant is asking for a change to RE-3P SPD code which falls under ‘physical disabilities’ that trigger a
transfer to the Temporary Disability Retirement List. The applicant has only provided a single report of a visit
to a Base clinic that limited any boat or sea duty for a two week period. Prior to the Spring 2006 clinic visit,
there is no other supporting evidence that the applicant had difficulty with motion sickness or seasickness in the
first 14 months on two separate CGC vessels.
The Board notes that the applicant’s DD-214 lists the Narrative Reason for Separation as Convenience of the
Gov't. Per ALCOAST 562/08, the use “Convenience of Government” is not considered as a narrative reason
from the Separation Program Designator handbook. Therefore, the DD-214 should be amended to list the
Narrative Reason for Separation as ‘Condition, Not a Disability’.
Board recommends no relief other than administrative change on the Narrative Reason for separation.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief other than administrative
change on the Narrative Reason for separation listed above.

of the Coast Guard Medical Manual lists the personality disorders for which a member may be separated. As the Coast Guard stated, “Condition, Not a Disability” would be more appropriate in this case because the applicant was discharged due to an adjustment disorder, not a personality disorder. Given the applicant’s diagnosed adjustment disorder and the provisions of the SPD Handbook, the Coast Guard should have assigned her the JFV separation code for having a condition that precludes...
