EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Unsuitability due to Alcohol Rehabilitation Failure in the summer of 2006.
The applicant received his first alcohol incident in early 2006 for failing to show up to work for two straight 
days. Two months later, he also failed to report to work due to excessive drinking. He received Non-Judicial 
punishment (NJP) and was admitted to outpatient treatment in the Spring of 2006. The command processed 
the applicant for Discharge for Unsuitability.
The Board finds no issues with the propriety standard at the time that the discharge issued.
On the equity standard, the board referred to ALCOAST 125/10, to make a recommendation on the Narrative 
Reason (NR) for his separation. The Board notes most or all separations occurring after said ALCOAST to 
present, only issue a JPD (SPD) code when the member is unable to complete outpatient treatment, or they 
refuse altogether. The applicant successfully completed treatment in April 2006. Therefore, the Board 
recommends that the NR be amended to: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons with a Separation
Type: (Unsuitability) Alcohol Abuse. The recommended SPD code and Separation Authority are: JND and 
COMDTNST MIOOO.6A, Art 12.B.16.
Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief is granted based on post-
policy issued in ALCOAST 125/10 as follows:
SPD code: JND
Narrative Reason for Separation: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons
The Re-entry code of RE4 will stand as issued.
