EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs in the Fall of 2013.

The applicant tested positive for oxymorphone in a random unit drug  test. The Board  has thoroughly  reviewed 
the urinalysis documents and the chain of custody with the samples provided to Tripler Army Medical Center. 
Nothing executed by the urinalysis coordinator was abnormal or in error. The applicant's command  determined 
this to be a drug incident. Pursuant to policy, the applicant was  recommended  for Discharge due to a drug 
incident.

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 made a statement and unconditionally waived the Admini strative Separation Board.

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.  However, consistent  with 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: Concur with Board. No relief.
