Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 

DISCUSSION: The applicant was discharged for Separation For Miscellaneous/General Reasons due to a 
voluntary request to separate from the Coast Guard for entry into another service, also known as a 
Conditional Release. 
The applicant was granted the release from the Coast Guard with the most favorable discharge. 
Currently, the applicant is seeking what appears to be a downgrade. The Board scope can’t recommend 
a demotion of the discharge previously issued. 
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. 
Additionally, the Board does not have the authority to make advisory opinions for medical 
determinations with respect to the Narrative Reason for separation. Based on the current 
documentation provided by the applicant, the applicant can seek further redress with the Board of 
Correction for Military Records to request relief on these issues. 
RECOMMENDATION: The Board members thoroughly reviewed the applicant’s record of service and all 
available documentation. The Board deemed that the applicant’s character of service, reason for 
separation and reenlistment code are appropriate and should not be changed. The applicant has not 
substantiated any error or inequity. 

2 In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is 
substantial credible evidence (to include evidence submitted by the Applicant) to rebut the presumption.
