Prior to the Discharge in late 2012, the applicant had alcohol incidents in 2009 and the summer of 2012. Also of note, a previous incident of underage drinking was documented in 2007, but later deemed as a non-incident by the command in the spring of 2009. The applicant did attend Alcohol Prevention Training in the Fall of 2012. The previous incidents in 2007 and 2009 determined that no outpatient treatment was necessary in the counseling and documentation with the Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist. The applicant did receive three separate disciplinary evaluations. The Second Chance waiver for retention in the service was not available to the applicant being beyond the first term of enlistment with over 6 years of service, but also less than the 8 years for Administrative Separation Board eligibility. The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the rights to an attorney. A statement was made while objecting to discharge. The statement provided by the applicant did not dispute alcohol being a causative factor in the two incidents which met the criteria for separation. Currently, the applicant has provided civilian court documents to profess innocence by way of the final adjudication. The Board finds that the intent and outcome of the applicant's 2012 alcohol incident are consistent with the discharge issued. The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The applicant was given an Honorable Discharge and the most favorable Narrative Reason for separation. Propriety: Discharge was proper. Equity: Discharge was equitable. Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief. Administrative change will be made to the correct Separation Authority to COMDTNST MIOOO.4, Art. I.B. 15.
