EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs.
The applicant had a positive urinalysis result for methamphetamines in the late summer of 2005. In the
application, the applicant denies any usage or wrongdoing with drugs. A mention was made by the applicant
that he wanted to do a follow up urinalysis test to prove his innocence. In late 2005, the applicant was taken to
NJP where he pled guilty and received punishment. The applicant was given an opportunity to state their case,
but chose not to provide a statement. In the Spring of 2006, the Discharge was approved.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. Coast Guard policy prescribes no higher than an
Under Honorable Conditions character of service for individuals separated as a result of violating the Coast
Guard’s drug policy.
The Board notes a General Discharge was issued. Per post policy noted in ALCOAST 562/08, a General
discharge is no longer considered an official character of service. Therefore, the board recommends a partial
upgrade to an Under Honorable Conditions character of service. All other items remain the same.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial Relief is granted to Under
Honorable Conditions per post-policy ALCOAST 562/08. All other items stand as issued.

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. Therefore, the Board recommends the use of SPD code JKM to accurately categorize this as an act of misconduct not otherwise listed by the JKK SPD code. Additionally, the Board notes that the DD-214 issued ‘General’ for the Character of Service.
