EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Adjustment Disorder due to Unsuitability upon reporting to small USCG
Station after Recruit Training in the Fall of 2009. The applicant’s complete Personnel Data Record and
Separation Package were available for the Board to review.
The applicant began having panic attacks and a sleep disorder immediately upon reporting to the first duty
station. Just 10 days after that, the applicant was diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety and
Depressed Mood. The applicant did not object to the Discharge or wish to make a statement. The Discharge
was final after 4 months and 16 days service.
The applicant is asking for an Entry Level Separation which is used for individuals who are separated while at
initial accession training and normally receive an ‘Uncharacterized’ character of service. In this case, the
applicant received an Honorable discharge despite having less than 180 days of service that normally merits an
Uncharacterized Discharge. This error is in the applicant’s favor. The Board is unable to consider an Entry
Level Separation as the applicant successfully graduated from Recruit Training. Using ALCOAST 252/09, the
Board notes that there are no acts of misconduct related to the Adjustment Disorder separation. Therefore, the
Board recommends a reenlistment code of RE-3G is more appropriate for a young 19 year old at that time who
was having difficulty making the transition to military life at a Station.
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.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief is granted with a
reentry code of RE-3G. All other items remain as issued.

After just a few months, the applicant had difficulty adjusting to military life and went to the clinic for a psychiatric review. 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. The FY series was to be aligned with the new narrative reason of ‘Adjustment Disorder’ which is best suited for the medical assessment made by the Navy Medical Center in Portsmouth in late 2006.

Normally, when a member is separated with less than 180 days of service, they are issued an ‘Uncharacterized’ discharge. Based on the limited amount of supporting documentation, and the standard of reenlistment codes issued for Adjustment Disorder separations, the Board recommends an RE3 reentry code. Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief on the SPD code, reenlistment code, and Narrative Reason for Separation as follows: SPD code: JFY RE code:...

For entry level separations at Cape May, an uncharacterized character of service is not derogatory in nature and is the prescribed character for individuals who were separated while at initial accession training with no associated conduct to warrant a less desirable character of service.
