EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Unacceptable Conduct due to Inaptitude. The applicant’s final 9 enlisted
employee evaluations resulted in a Not Recommended for Advancement from 2001-2005. The applicant was
reduced from E6 to E5 in the 2005 NJP punishment after being in probationary period the 2 years prior. The
applicant had approximately 20 negative administrative remarks on the inability to complete routine tasks and
communicate with the chain of command, documenting how the performance created problems for other
shipmates. Additionally, the applicant received three Unsatisfactory Evaluations stemming from a 2005 mast
for not meeting the crewman and unit OOD qualifications, not paying debts in 2002, and an alcohol incident in
1995. Prior to that in 1990, the applicant was also taken to Captain’s Mast for dereliction of duty while aboard
Coast Guard cutter as a non-rate.
The applicant’s complete Personnel Data Record was available for review. The Separation Package and
Administrative Separation Board proceedings were not available for the Board to review. The Board utilized
available information contained in electronic records and documents submitted by the applicant.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The applicant received an Honorable Discharge
which is the most favorable outcome possible based on his substandard performance over the larger part of 15
years.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief.

On September 25, 2009, the Discharge Review Board (DRB) changed the applicant’s separation code from JNC to JFY (involuntary discharge due to adjustment disorder) and the narrative reason for his separation from “unacceptable conduct” to “adjustment disorder.” The applicant was diagnosed with an adjustment disorder while in the Coast Guard. The Board corrected that applicant’s record to show Article 12.B.12.a.12 of the Personnel Manual as the separation authority, JFV as his separation...

After receiving five negative 3307s, the applicant was officially placed on performance probation after six months as a crewmember. The SPD code JNC should remain intact; however, the narrative reason for separation on the DD-214 is incorrect. In accordance with the SPD Handbook, the narrative reason for SPD code JNC is “Unacceptable Conduct.” The Board recommends an administrative change from “General Misconduct” to “Unacceptable Conduct.’” Additionally, the Board recommends that the...

He recommended that the applicant be discharged under 12.B.12.3 of the Coast Guard Personnel Manual. The applicant’s CO recommended that she be discharged from the Coast Guard pursuant to Articles 12.B.12.a. However, since the appli- cant did not object to being discharged and the JAG is recommending that her record be corrected to show that she was discharged pursuant to Article 12.B.12 of the Personnel Manual, instead of Article 12.B.16., the Board finds the error to be harmless.

The same day, the applicant’s command informed CGPC that he could not be discharged on August 13 due to the pending disciplinary action. Because the Commander of the Atlantic Area failed to take action on the applicant’s appeal within five days of the day the applicant submitted it, the...
