EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Applicant was discharged in April 2007 due to Unsuitability.

In 2003 while attending "A" school, the Applicant received an alcohol incident. Thereafter in December 2006, 
he received his second alcohol incident when he was cited for driving under the influence while he was 
assigned at ATC Mobile. In February 2007, the applicant successfully completed a treatment program and then 
he was recommended for discharge.

On the equity standard, the board referred to ALCOAST 125/10 to make a recommendation. The Board notes 
most or all separations occurring after said ALCOAST to the present only issued a JPD separation code when 
the member is unable to complete outpatient treatment, an objection or refusal for treatment altogether, or a 
relapse after a direct orders of alcohol abstinence is documented as a condition of employment for the 
remainder of their career. None of these actions occurred in this case. Therefore, the Board recommended SPD 
code is JND, the Narrative Reasoning be amended to Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons with a 
Separation type of Unsuitability (Alcohol Abuse).

The Board recommends that no change is made to Re-entry code RE-4 based on ALCOAST 125/10, as it 
specifically states that RE-4 is prescribed for cases involving DUL

Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was NOT equitable.

the following items:

Separation Authority: COMDTINST Ml 000.4, ART l.B.15
