EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs in 2006.
During a unit investigation, the applicant admitted to Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) agents of
repeated drug use during the current term in service. In addition to the statement made, there was drug
paraphernalia found in the applicant’s barracks room.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The applicant was notified of the intent to
discharge and did chose to make a statement. The Board endorses an administrative change to amend the
Character of Service to Under Honorable Conditions based on the issuance of ALCOAST 562/08. The
Character of Service may not be listed as ‘General’ on the DD-214 issued (Block 24 of the form).
Coast Guard policy prescribes no higher than a General Discharge, with an Under Honorable Conditions
character of service for individuals separated as a result of violating the Coast Guard’s drug policy. The Coast
Guard has zero tolerance for drug abuse. The General, Under Honorable Conditions separation is equitable.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief other than the
administrative change to Under Honorable Conditions for the Character of Service based on ALCOAST
562/08.

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.
