EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with drugs in 2011.
The applicant admitted to the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) in the Fall of 2010 to using marijuana 
on different occasions. Additionally, other shipmates mentioned the applicant's name in substantial illegal 
drug use. Pursuant to policy, the applicant was recommended for Discharge due to a drug incident.
The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the rights to an 
attorney. The applicant objected to the discharge and made a statement. The applicant claimed to be bullied 
into a confession of drug use by CGIS agents. However, the applicant does not specify or strongly oppose 
partaking in illegal drug use in any way. The applicant states to have never been convicted of a drug crime or 
ever tested positive on a urinalysis.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
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: No relief.
