EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs. The applicant's complete
Personnel Data Record and Separation Package were available for the Board to review.
The applicant admitted to investigators in 2012 to using spice. The applicant's command determined this to be 
a drug incident. Pursuant to policy, the applicant was processed for Discharge separation due to a drug 
incident.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the right to an attorney. 
No objection was made to the discharge, representation was declined, but a statement was made by the 
applicant.
Coast Guard policy prescribes no higher than 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 Under Honorable Conditions discharge is equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief
