EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs in 2014.
During a CGIS investigation, the applicant admitted to use of Depo-Testosterone by receiving a prescription 
from a civilian doctor on their own volition (not by way of a referral beforehand from a military clinic or 
Primary Care Manager). The applicant was asked on two occasions to provide the aforementioned prescription 
to the command. After four months had passed, the command had no option, but to document this as a drug 
incident. Furthermore, the Base clinic performed blood work on the applicant which showed that the 
testosterone levels were not deficient in any way. There was no need or basis for a civilian doctor to prescribe 
a Testosterone booster to the applicant.
In the Board application, the former member claims that the prescription (forwarded after-the-fact in the 
current application) should absolve any wrong doing. The Board notes the admission of the illegal use of 
Testosterone along with the inability to provide said prescription meets the equity and propriety standards for 
the HKK SPD code.
The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the rights to an attorney 
and to make a statement. The applicant spoke with counsel, but declined to make a statement. The applicant 
was afforded an Administrative Separation Board in which the command's intent to Discharge was endorsed. 
The applicant formally waived said Board contingent on receiving a General Discharge and an Under 
Honorable Conditions character of service.
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 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.
