EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged on December 21, 2007, with a discharge due to Misconduct specifically due to 
Involvement with Drugs.

The applicant was found guilty of using a substance to obtain a 'high' contrary to its intended use. The 
applicant was placed on report for misuse of prescription drugs and inhalants. The command determined this to 
be a drug incident.

The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The Board notes that an administrative change 
should be made on the character of service to Under Honorable Conditions in Block 24 of the DD-214.

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 and objected 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 Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Concur with Board. The 
Applicant's Character of Service has recently been amended via admin correction to Under Honorable 
Conditions per ALCOAST 562/08. Aside from this change, no relief.
