EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Alcohol Rehabilitation Failure due to receiving two alcohol incidents in 2008-
2009. With regard to the Narrative Reason for Separation, the applicant had previously been to outpatient
treatment in 2007 for a self-referral. In the Spring of 2008, the applicant received the first alcohol incident for a
physical and verbal altercation with patrons at a bar, provoking shipmates, and entering another shipmate’s bed
without consent. Due to the applicant’s 2007 completion of outpatient treatment, they were not sent back to
treatment after the incident was documented. Thereafter in the Fall of 2009, the applicant was charged with for
driving under the influence and having open containers of alcohol in a vehicle. In early 2010, the applicant was
documented for the second alcohol incident and processed for discharge.
After the command’s notification to Discharge, the applicant provided a statement to state the desire to remain
in the service. The statement had no evidence to absolve or refute the second incident. The applicant did not
dispute the command’s findings-- just asked for consideration to be retained. Whereas, the current board
application states being wrongly accused and was still processed for discharge. The Board finds that the
applicant’s intent in the 2009 alcohol incident is consistent with the propriety standard of the discharge issued.
On the equity standard, the board referred to ALCOAST 125/10 released on March 18, 2010 (member
discharged shortly after), to make a recommendation on the Narrative Reason (NR) for Separation. The Board
notes most or all separations occurring after said ALCOAST to the present, only issue a JPD (SPD) code when
the member is unable to complete outpatient treatment, or they refuse altogether. Therefore, the Board
recommends the following changes:
Separation Authority: COMDTINST M1000.6A, ART 12.B.16
SPD code: JND
Narrative Reason for Separation: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Concur and approve Board findings
above based on post-policy issued in ALCOAST 125/10.
No change will be made to the Re-entry code of RE4.
