EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs in late 2013.

The applicant admitted to the Coast Guard Investigative Service of smoking marijuana. No new evidence has 
been provided to refute the illegal drug use.

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 on their 
behalf while objecting to the discharge.

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 Deputy Commandant for Mission Support: Concur with Board. No relief.
