1. Applicant's Name: a. Application Date: 26 April 2021 b. Date Received: 26 April 2021 c. Counsel: 2. REQUEST, ISSUES, BOARD TYPE, AND DECISION: a. Applicant's Requests and Issues: The current characterization of service for the period under review is general (under honorable conditions). The applicant, through counsel, requests an upgrade to honorable. The applicant seeks relief contending, in effect, the Board must apply liberal consideration to a discharge upgrade request by a former Servicemember deployed in support of a contingency operation and diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), which extends to evidence the service member's PTSD or TBI contributed to the circumstances resulting in the discharge. The applicant joined the Army to contribute to a cause larger than oneself. During the deployment to Afghanistan, the applicant served honorably by working with the Afghani people and putting oneself in harm's way to protect fellow Servicemembers, receiving a Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman Badge, and the NATO Medal, among others. The applicant received a TBI when an improvised explosive device (IED) explosion knocked the applicant unconscious during a combat patrol in Afghanistan. Despite the injury, the applicant regained situational awareness and maneuvered the team to continue to pull security. Based on these combat experiences and the experience of cleaning the remains of friends and fellow Servicemembers as well as local children following their violent deaths, the applicant also developed service-related PTSD. After the deployment, the applicant struggled to cope with the symptoms of TBI and then undiagnosed PTSD, which resulted in a series of risky and self-destructive actions, including attempts to self-medicate with alcohol, cough medication, and illicit substances and an attempted suicide. The applicant's physical decline further compounded the mental decline. A knee injury continued to plague the applicant, affecting plans to attend sniper training school to become a scout. Not realizing the behavior resulted from combat-related mental health conditions, the applicant's chain of command discharged the applicant for two positive drug tests: first for marijuana, and then for cocaine. Letters from the applicant's family and friends describe the change in the applicant's behavior after deployment. The evidence demonstrates the applicant's request for a discharge upgrade satisfies the four inquiries under the Kurta Memorandum. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) rated the applicant 50 percent disabled for PTSD and TBI and 10 percent disabled for tinnitus. The applicant has set better boundaries regarding drinking; gained a better understanding of the effects of PTSD and TBI; maintained a more stable living environment; maintained employment, currently supervising six workers; purchased a home; and is pursuing an associate degree through Mount Wachusett Community College. The applicant hopes the discharge upgrade will enable the applicant to afford to continue a college education and obtain a position as a corrections officer. The applicant requests an upgrade and a narrative reason change to Secretarial Authority. The applicant further details the contentions in the affidavits submitted with the application. b. Board Type and Decision: In a records review conducted on 23 February 2023, and by a 5-0 vote, the Board determined the discharge is inequitable based on the applicant's PTSD mitigating applicant's accepted basis for separation, marijuana and cocaine use. Therefore, the Board voted to grant relief in the form of an upgrade of the characterization of service to Honorable and changed to the separation authority to AR 635-200, paragraph 14-12a, the narrative reason for separation to Misconduct (Minor Infractions), with a corresponding separation code of JKN, and the reentry code to RE-3. Please see Section 9 of this document for more detail regarding the Board's decision. (Board member names available upon request) 3. DISCHARGE DETAILS: a.

STATUTORY, REGULATORY AND POLICY REFERENCE(S): a. Section 1553, Title 10, United States Code (Review of Discharge or Dismissal) provides for the creation, composition, and scope of review conducted by a Discharge Review Board(s) within established governing standards. As amended by Sections 521 and 525 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, 10 USC 1553 provides specific guidance to the Military Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records and Discharge Review Boards when considering discharge upgrade requests by Veterans claiming Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), sexual trauma, intimate partner violence (IPV), or spousal abuse, as a basis for discharge review. The amended guidance provides that Boards will include, as a voting board member, a physician trained in mental health disorders, a clinical psychologist, or a psychiatrist when the discharge upgrade claim asserts a mental health condition, including PTSD, TBI, sexual trauma, IPV, or spousal abuse, as a basis for the discharge. Further, the guidance provides that Military Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records and Discharge Review Boards will develop and provide specialized training specific to sexual trauma, IPV, spousal abuse, as well as the various responses of individuals to trauma. b. Multiple Department of Defense Policy Guidance Memoranda published between 2014 and 2018. The documents are commonly referred to by the signatory authorities' last names (2014 Secretary of Defense Guidance [Hagel memo], 2016 Acting Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness [Carson memo], 2017 Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness [Kurta memo], and 2018 Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness [Wilkie memo]. (1) Individually and collectively, these documents provide further clarification to the Military Discharge Review Boards and Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records when considering requests by Veterans for modification of their discharge due to mental health conditions, including PTSD; TBI; sexual assault; or sexual harassment. Liberal consideration will be given to Veterans petitioning for discharge relief when the application for relief is based in whole or in part on matters relating to mental health conditions, including PTSD; TBI; sexual assault; or sexual harassment. Special consideration will be given to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) determinations that document a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment potentially contributed to the circumstances resulting in a less than honorable discharge characterization. Special consideration will also be given in cases where a civilian provider confers diagnoses of a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment if the case records contain narratives supporting symptomatology at the time of service or when any other evidence which may reasonably indicate that a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment existed at the time of discharge might have mitigated the misconduct that caused a discharge of lesser characterization. (2) Conditions documented in the service record that can reasonably be determined to have existed at the time of discharge will be considered to have existed at the time of discharge. In cases in which a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment may be reasonably determined to have existed at the time of discharge, those conditions will be considered potential mitigating factors in the misconduct that caused the characterization of service in question. All Boards will exercise caution in weighing evidence of mitigation in cases in which serious misconduct precipitated a discharge with a less than Honorable characterization of service. Potentially mitigating evidence of the existence of undiagnosed combat related PTSD, PTSD-related conditions due to TBI or sexual assault/harassment as causative factors in the misconduct resulting in discharge will be carefully weighed against the severity of the misconduct. PTSD is not a likely cause of premeditated misconduct. Caution shall be exercised in weighing evidence of mitigation in all cases of misconduct by carefully considering the likely causal relationship of symptoms to the misconduct. c. Army Regulation 15-180 (Army Discharge Review Board), sets forth the policies and procedures under which the Army Discharge Review Board is authorized to review the character, reason, and authority of any Servicemember discharged from active military service within 15 years of the Servicemember's date of discharge. Additionally, it prescribes actions and composition of the Army Discharge Review Board under Public Law 95-126; Section 1553, Title 10 United States Code; and Department of Defense Directive 1332.41 and Instruction 1332.28. d. Army Regulation 635-200 provides the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. (1) Chapter 3, Section II provides the authorized types of characterization of service or description of separation. (2) Paragraph 3-7a states an Honorable discharge is a separation with honor and is appropriate when the quality of the Soldier's service generally has met the standards of acceptable conduct and performance of duty for Army personnel or is otherwise so meritorious that any other characterization would be clearly inappropriate. (3) Paragraph 3-7b states a General discharge is a separation from the Army under honorable conditions and is issued to a Soldier whose military record is satisfactory but not sufficiently meritorious to warrant an honorable discharge. (4) Chapter 14 establishes policy and prescribes procedures for separating members for misconduct. Specific categories include minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, and commission of a serious offense, to include abuse of illegal drugs, convictions by civil authorities and desertion or being absent without leave. Action will be taken to separate a member for misconduct when it is clearly established that rehabilitation is impractical or unlikely to succeed. (5) Paragraph 14-3 prescribes a discharge under other than honorable conditions is normally appropriate for a Soldier discharged under this chapter. However, the separation authority may direct a general discharge if such is merited by the Soldier's overall record. (6) Paragraph 14-12c(2) terms abuse of illegal drugs as serious misconduct. It continues; however, by recognizing relevant facts may mitigate the nature of the offense. Therefore, a single drug abuse offense may be combined with one or more minor disciplinary infractions or incidents of other misconduct and processed for separation under paragraph 14- 12a or 14-12b as appropriate. e. Army Regulation 635-5-1 (Separation Program Designator (SPD) Codes) provides the specific authorities (regulatory or directive), reasons for separating Soldiers from active duty, and the SPD codes to be entered on the DD Form 214. It identifies the SPD code of "JKK" as the appropriate code to assign enlisted Soldiers who are discharged under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, Chapter 14, misconduct (drug abuse). f. Army Regulation 601-210, Regular Army and Reserve Components Enlistment Program, governs eligibility criteria, policies, and procedures for enlistment and processing of persons into the Regular Army, the U.S. Army Reserve, and Army National Guard for enlistment per DODI 1304.26. It also prescribes the appointment, reassignment, management, and mobilization of Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets under the Simultaneous Membership Program. Chapter 4 provides the criteria and procedures for waivable and nonwaivable separations. Table 3-1, defines reentry eligibility (RE) codes. RE-4 applies toa person separated from last period of service with a nonwaivable disqualification. This includes anyone with a DA imposed bar to reenlistment in effect at time of separation or separated for any reason (except length of service retirement) with 18 or more years active Federal service. Eligibility: Ineligible for enlistment. 8. SUMMARY OF FACT(S): The Army Discharge Review Board considers applications for upgrade as instructed by Department of Defense Instruction 1332.28. The applicant requests an upgrade to honorable. The applicant's Army Military Human Resources Record (AMHRR), the issues and documents submitted with the application were carefully reviewed. The applicant's AMHRR is void of the complete specific facts and circumstances concerning the events which led to the discharge from the Army. The applicant's AMHRR does contain a properly constituted DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), which was authenticated with the applicant's electronic signature. The applicant's DD Form 214 indicates the applicant was discharged under the provisions of AR 635-200, Chapter 14, paragraph 14-12c(2), by reason of Misconduct (Drug Abuse), with a characterization of service of general (under honorable conditions). The applicant contends the narrative reason for the discharge needs to be changed. The applicant was separated under the provisions of Chapter 14, paragraph 14-12c(2), AR 635-200 with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge. The narrative reason specified by Army Regulations for a discharge under this paragraph is "Misconduct (Drug Abuse)," and the separation code is "JKK." Army Regulation 635-8, Separation Processing and Documents, governs preparation of the DD Form 214, and dictates the entry of the narrative reason for separation, entered in block 28 and separation code, entered in block 26 of the form, will be as listed in tables 2-2 or 2-3 of AR 635-5-1, Separation Program Designator (SPD) Codes. The regulation stipulates no deviation is authorized. There is no provision for any other reason to be entered under this regulation. The applicant contends the Board should apply liberal consideration because TBI and undiagnosed PTSD affected behavior which led to the discharge. The applicant provided several in-service medical documents reflecting the applicant was diagnosed with alcohol dependence; cannabis dependence; major depression; occupational problem; adjustment disorder with disturbance of emotions; and TBI. The applicant provided a mental status evaluation (MSE) reflecting the applicant underwent an MSE on 10 October 2015, which shows the applicant could understand and participate in administrative proceedings; could appreciate the difference between right and wrong; and met medical retention requirements. The applicant had been screened for PTSD and mTBI with positive results. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted and the applicant was determined not to have PTSD. The applicant was referred to the TBI clinic for evaluation and it was determined the reported symptoms did not significantly contribute to the behavior for which the applicant was being considered for separation. The applicant was diagnosed with unspecified anxiety disorder. The applicant contends being diagnosed with PTSD by the VA and rated 50 percent service- connected disabled for PTSD with TBI and 10 percent for tinnitus. The applicant provided VA rating decision reflecting the applicant was rated 50 percent disabled for PTSD with TBI and 10 percent for tinnitus, effective 23 December 2015. The applicant contends good service, including a combat tour. The Board will consider the applicant's service accomplishments and the quality of service according to the DODI 1332.28. The applicant contends an upgrade would allow educational benefits through the GI Bill. Eligibility for veteran's benefits to include educational benefits under the Post-9/11 or Montgomery GI Bill does not fall within the purview of the Army Discharge Review Board. Accordingly, the applicant should contact a local office of the Department of Veterans Affairs for further assistance. The applicant contends an upgrade of the discharge will allow the applicant to obtain better employment. The Board does not grant relief to gain employment or enhance employment opportunities. The third party statements provided with the application speak highly of the applicant. They all recognize the applicant's good military service and/or good conduct after leaving the Army. The applicant contends setting better boundaries on the drinking; gaining a better understanding of the effects of PTSD and TBI; maintaining a more stable living environment; maintaining employment, currently supervising six workers; purchasing a home; and pursuing a position as a corrections officer and an associate degree with Mount Wachusett Community College. The Army Discharge Review Board is authorized to consider post-service factors in the recharacterization of a discharge. No law or regulation provides for the upgrade of an unfavorable discharge based solely on the passage of time or good conduct in civilian life after leaving the service. The Board reviews each discharge on a case-by-case basis to determine if post-service accomplishments help demonstrate previous in-service misconduct was an aberration and not indicative of the member's overall character. The applicant's AMHRR does not contain any indication or evidence of arbitrary or capricious actions by the command. 9. BOARD DISCUSSION AND DETERMINATION: a. As directed by the 2017 memo signed by A.M. Kurta, the board considered the following factors: (1) Did the applicant have a condition or experience that may excuse or mitigate the discharge? Yes. The Board's Medical Advisor, a voting member, reviewed the applicant's DOD and VA health records, applicant's statement and found that the applicant has the following potentially mitigating diagnoses/experiences: PTSD, TBI, Adjustment Disorder, Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder. (2) Did the condition exist or experience occur during military service? Yes. The Board's Medical Advisor found that the applicant was diagnosed in service with an Adjustment Disorder and Major Depression. Applicant is also diagnosed, and service connected by the VA for PTSD and TBI. Service connection establishes that applicant's PTSD and TBI existed during military service. Bipolar Disorder was diagnosed post service by the VA. (3) Does the condition or experience actually excuse or mitigate the discharge? Yes. The Board's Medical Advisor applied liberal consideration and opined that the applicant was diagnosed in service with an Adjustment Disorder and Major Depression. Applicant is also diagnosed, and service connected by the VA for PTSD and TBI. While the full facts and circumstances of applicant's separation are not contained in the file, the medical record reveals that the basis for separation is multiple drug offenses to include positive UAs for marijuana and cocaine. Given the nexus between PTSD, Major Depression, and self-medicating with substances, applicant's BH conditions likely contributed to the drug use that led to applicant's separation. (4) Does the condition or experience outweigh the discharge? Yes. After applying liberal consideration to the evidence, including the Board Medical Advisor opine, the Board determined that the applicant's PTSD outweighed the marijuana and cocaine abuse accepted basis for separation for the aforementioned reason(s). b. Response to Contention(s): (1) The applicant contends the narrative reason for the discharge needs to be changed. The Board considered this contention and determined the applicant's PTSD outweighed the applicant's drug use, therefore the Board voted to upgrade the applicant's narrative reason for discharge to Misconduct (Minor Infractions). (2) The applicant contends the Board should apply liberal consideration because TBI and undiagnosed PTSD affected behavior which led to the discharge. The Board liberally considered this contention and determined the applicant's PTSD outweighed the marijuana and cocaine abuse, basis for separation. (3) The applicant contends being diagnosed with PTSD by the VA and rated 50 percent service-connected disabled for PTSD and TBI and 10 percent for tinnitus. The Board liberally considered this contention and determined the applicant's PTSD outweighed the marijuana and cocaine abuse, basis for separation. (4) The applicant contends good service, including a combat tour. The Board recognizes and appreciates the applicant's willingness to serve and considered this contention during board proceedings along with the totality of the applicant's service record. (5) The applicant contends an upgrade would allow educational benefits through the GI Bill. The Board considered this contention and determined that eligibility for Veteran's benefits, to include educational benefits under the Post-9/11 or Montgomery GI Bill, healthcare or VA loans, do not fall within the purview of the Army Discharge Review Board. Accordingly, the applicant should contact a local office of the Department of Veterans Affairs for further assistance. (6) The applicant contends an upgrade of the discharge will allow the applicant to obtain better employment. The Board considered this contention but does not grant relief to gain employment or enhance employment opportunities. (7) The applicant contends setting better boundaries on the drinking; gaining a better understanding of the effects of PTSD and TBI; maintaining a more stable living environment; being employed with the Pilgrim Consulting & Security Company since 2020; and pursuing an associate degree with Mount Wachusett Community College. The Board considered this contention and determined that the applicant's post-service accomplishments do not outweigh the marijuana and cocaine abuse, however, applicant's PTSD outweighed the marijuana and cocaine abuse, basis for separation. The Board upgraded the characterization to Honorable. c. The Board determined the discharge is inequitable based on the applicant's PTSD mitigating applicant's accepted basis for separation, marijuana and cocaine use. Therefore, the Board voted to grant relief in the form of an upgrade of the characterization of service to Honorable and changed to the separation authority to AR 635-200, paragraph 14-12a, the narrative reason for separation to Misconduct (Minor Infractions), with a corresponding separation code of JKN, and the reentry code to RE-3. However, the applicant may request a personal appearance hearing to address further issues before the Board. The applicant is responsible for satisfying the burden of proof and providing documents or other evidence sufficient to support the applicant's contention(s) that the discharge was improper or inequitable. d. Rationale for Decision: (1) The Board voted to change the applicant's characterization of service to Honorable because the applicant's PTSD mitigated the applicant's misconduct of marijuana and cocaine abuse. Thus, the prior characterization is no longer appropriate. (2) The Board voted to change the reason for discharge to Misconduct (Minor Infractions) under the same pretexts, thus the reason for discharge is no longer appropriate. The SPD code associated with the new reason for discharge is JKN. (3) The Board voted to change the RE code to RE-3. 10. BOARD ACTION DIRECTED: a. Issue a New DD-214: Yes b. Change Characterization to: Honorable c. Change Reason / SPD Code to: Misconduct (Minor Infractions)/JKN d. Change RE Code to: RE-3 e.
