EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Condition, Not A Disability in 2012.
After reporting aboard the assigned vessel, the applicant began to perform duties underway with the rest of 
the crew. The applicant started experiencing chronic motion sickness and seasickness from the onset which 
prompted many visits to the clinic for medical evaluations. After 14 underway periods and 8 trips to clinic, 
the medical staff endorsed an administration discharge due to the inability to adapt and tolerate the sea duty 
conditions and environment. The command processed the Discharge paperwork and it was effective after 9 
months service.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the right to an 
attorney. The applicant declined to make a statement and did not object to discharge.
An RE3 reentry code is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that the 
applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due to a disqualifying factor. The RE3 code may be waived 
based upon the policies and needs of the gaining Service.
Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief.
