EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged on September 15, 2009, with a Honorable discharge due to Adjustment Disorder.

Just months prior to the discharge, the applicant was diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder with disturbance of 
emotions and conduct. Shortly thereafter, the command processed the applicant for discharge from the service.

The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the right to an attorney. 
The applicant waived making a statement on their behalf and did not object to the discharge.

The Board closely reviewed ALCOAST 252/09 which commenced the use of Adjustment Disorder as an 
official narrative reason (NR) for discharge. The applicant had no adverse behavior or other disqualifying 
factors. Hence, the Adjustment Disorder best describes individuals that are unable to function effectively in a 
military environment. The Board does note that the reenlistment code issued was RE-3Y that would indicate 
Unsatisfactory Performance. An administrative correction should be made to RE-3G to properly align with 
issued NR.

The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.

Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication By Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Concur with Board. The 
Applicant's Re-entry Code has recently been amended via admin correction to RE-3G per ALCOAST 252/09. 
Aside from this change, no relief.
