DRB DIGEST/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DRB DOCKET 2013-050 NAME CURRENT DD-214 Honorable, COMDTNST MIOOO.6A, Article 12.B.16, JFX, Personality Disorder, RELIEF REQUESTED Upgrade RE code RELIEF GRANTED BY DRB SPD code: JND Narrative Reason: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons RE code: RE-3H Separation Authority: COMDTNST MIOOO.4, Article 1.B.12 (legacy Personnel Manual 12B.12) ADMIN CORRECTIONS None TIS 7 yrs, 6 months, 12 days Policy Implications None EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant was discharged for Personality Disorder in the Fall of 2001. The applicant was Discharged after just I year of USCG service. The applicant had 6 years of prior service with the Department of Defense. The applicant feels the 'Personality disorder' is unmerited. The applicant attributes the problems leading to the discharge were due in part to a failing marriage and unstable spouse in the Spring and Summer of 2001. The spouse was living separately from the applicant as of the Fall of 2000. There are some negative admin remarks for non-support of dependents, non-qualifications as Boat Engineer and Crewman, and written statements (and police reports) on domestic disturbances from watch stander personnel and the local leased housing staff. The Board notes that the absence of any paperwork or consultation on a Personality Disorder prompts a change to the applicant's Narrative Reason for Separation. Therefore, the board recommends that applicant's SPD code be changed to JND with the narrative reason as: 'Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons'. Pursuant to ALCOAST 125/10, the use of SPD code JND allows a reentry code of RE-I, RE-3 or RE-4. Given the demonstrated hardships with the family, the board recommends an RE-3 reenlistment code with a disqualifying factor for 'hardship' (RE-3H)'. 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. Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief to the following: SPD code: JND Narrative Reason: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons RE code: RE-3H Separation Authority: COMDTNST MIOOO.4, Article 1.B.12 (legacy Personnel Manual 12.B.12)
