EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs. The applicant tested positive 
for marijuana on a random urinalysis in 2012. The applicant's command determined this to be a drug incident. 
Pursuant to policy, he was recommended for Discharge due to the drug incident.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The applicant has no new evidence to absolve 
his illegal drug use.
The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the rights to an 
attorney. The applicant declined those rights and did not object to discharge.
Coast Guard policy prescribes no higher than a General, Under Honorable Conditions character of service for 
individuals separated as a result of violating the Coast Guard's drug policy. The separation is consistent with 
the substance abuse policy; the Coast Guard has zero tolerance for drug abuse. The General, Under Honorable 
Conditions discharge is equitable.
Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: An administrative change will be made 
to the appropriate Separation Authority within the Military Separation Manual: COMDTNST M 1000.4,
Art I-B-17. All other items stand as issued.
