EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs in the Fall of 2005. During a
CGIS investigation, the applicant admitted to using the illegal drug Ecstacy in early 2005.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
The applicant was notified of the intent to be separated with a General discharge, and the applicant was advised
of the rights to an attorney. The applicant declined the right to an attorney, and did not object to the discharge.
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. An admission or a positive result
renders the SPD code of JKK, Involvement with drugs. The Coast Guard has zero tolerance for drug abuse. The
General, Under Honorable Conditions discharge is equitable.
The board does note the necessary change needed on the applicant’s current DD-214 which lists the Character
of Service as General. The appropriate character of service is “Under Honorable Conditions,” therefore the
Board recommends an administrative change to the applicant’s record to reflect “Under Honorable Conditions.”
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief. Concur with
administrative change to Under Honorable Conditions.
