EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Separation For Miscellaneous/General Reasons due to alcohol abuse. The applicant's first alcohol incident 
occurred in 2010 for driving under the influence (DUI) on a military base. The applicant was screened and received IMPACT training.
In the Spring of 2011, the applicant was found guilty again of DUI on the same military facility. The applicant was screened and found to be 
alcohol abusive and directed to receive Level I outpatient treatment.
The applicant's record shows that due process was •afforded and that the request for a second chance waiver was denied. The applicant argues that 
his incidents were below the Blood Alcohol content (BAC) threshold required for civilian driving offenses; however they violated the local 
military policies in place which constitute a DUI when driving on the base grounds. The applicant seeks relief to upgrade the RE4 reentry code 
issued.
In accordance with ALCOAST 125/10, an "RE-3 is prescribed for individuals who are separated as a result of accumulated two alcohol incidents. 
However, RE-4 is prescribed for cases involving DUI, associated alcohol related misconduct, or member who fail to complete or refuse 
treatment." In this case, the applicant was involved in two DUI's and the command elected to take the applicant to NJP for the second 
DUI/incident, which constitutes alcohol related misconduct. The Board unanimously recommends no relief and the RE4 is in accordance with 
policy.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Concur with Board. No relief.
