EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Personality Disorder in the Fall of 2001. The applicant was Discharged after
just 1 year of USCG service. The applicant had 6 years of prior service with the Department of Defense.
The applicant feels the ‘Personality disorder’ is unmerited. The applicant attributes the problems leading to the
discharge were due in part to a failing marriage and unstable spouse in the Spring and Summer of 2001. The
spouse was living separately from the applicant as of the Fall of 2000. There are some negative admin remarks
for non-support of dependents, non-qualifications as Boat Engineer and Crewman, and written statements (and
police reports) on domestic disturbances from watch stander personnel and the local leased housing staff.
The Board notes that the absence of any paperwork or consultation on a Personality Disorder prompts a change
to the applicant’s Narrative Reason for Separation. Therefore, the board recommends that applicant’s SPD code
be changed to JND with the narrative reason as: ‘Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons’. Pursuant to
ALCOAST 125/10, the use of SPD code JND allows a reentry code of RE-1, RE-3 or RE-4. Given the
demonstrated hardships with the family, the board recommends an RE-3 reenlistment code with a disqualifying
factor for ‘hardship’ (RE-3H)’.
An RE3 reentry code is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that the
applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due to a disqualifying factor. The RE3 code may be waived
based upon the policies and needs of the gaining Service.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief to the following:
SPD code: JND
Narrative Reason: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons
RE code: RE-3H
Separation Authority: COMDTINST M1000.4, Article 1.B.12 (legacy Personnel Manual 12.B.12)

This was the result of a voluntary SILO request made in 2009, by the applicant, due to an overwhelming financial situation in which relocation would have adversely affected their family. In the Fall of 2009, just 8 weeks prior to his request to SILO, the applicant was taken to Summary Court-Martial (SCM) for an inappropriate relationship onboard a USGC cutter. The board recommends that applicant’s SPD code be changed to KND with the narrative reason as: ‘Separation for...

The applicant received an RE-4 code that bars her from future reentry into military service. A recommendation of an RE-3H is the appropriate reenlistment code to indicate that her request to voluntary separate was due to family hardship. An RE3 reentry code is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that the applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due to a disqualifying factor.

In the year of 2011, the applicant had two documented alcohol incidents and received NJP for the aforementioned UCMJ Articles 92, 107 and 128. As of ALCOAST 125/10, the SPD code of JND is prescribed for individuals with two accumulated alcohol incidents. The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
