EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Pattern Of Misconduct due to receiving two Non-Judicial punishments within
a 2 year period. The applicant consistently was given opportunities to excel while aboard a vessel from late
2008 to early 2010. In 2010, the command initiated Discharge proceedings which made the discharge final in
the Spring of 2010. The applicant failed to complete the basic duties required of a crew member. As noted in 9
separate administrative remarks entries, the applicant shirked on watches, disobeyed orders, made false
statements, disrespected superiors, and put others at risk due to professional negligence.
Despite the undesired behavior, the Board recommends a partial upgrade to reflect that the applicant’s troubles
were performance-laden in a very short period of time. Being a member of a small crew where deficiencies
made a greater impact on everyone. At a young age, there had little room for error. The Board does recognize
the adverse impacts of the actions, however the consensus among the panel is that the service is best
characterized as ‘Unsatisfactory Performance’ vice what is normally equitable with a ‘Pattern of Misconduct’.
While the two NJPs in a short period met the criteria of JKA SPD code, the separation was due to inept
performance and immaturity. The applicant did receive an Honorable Discharge at the time of separation. The
applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the rights to an attorney. A
statement was made while objecting to the discharge.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was not equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief is granted on the
following items:

SECCEN followed up in late 2006 to indicate that no improvement had been made to eliminate the sizable debt that the applicant had created over a significant amount of time. Additionally, the command formally counseled applicant on the need to change their rating for retention in the service. Discharge: No change | 25.

Upon notification of the command’s intent to discharge the applicant, the applicant made a statement and objected to discharge. Despite the pattern of indebtedness, the Board finds that the applicant’s Narrative Reason for Separation of Misconduct is not properly aligned with separations stemming from financial irresponsibility. Discharge: No change 25.

The NJP results specify that the spouse had suffered a fractured nose and received stitches. The separation package does show an Honorable recommendation from the Sector, but this is due to the pattern of misconduct vice the voluntary plea on the application and supporting statements. The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.

In the first four months at the new assignment, the applicant was very unstable and suffered with depression which became a burden to the command. Additionally, the applicant made suicidal gestures and comments to gain more attention; amplifying their inability to cope as a productive crew member. In accordance with (post-policy) ALCOAST 252/09, the Board recommends a change to SPD code JFY, Narrative Reason of Adjustment Disorder, and a Re-entry code of RE-3G.
