EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged in September 2015. The applicant's Character of Service is Honorable and 
Narrative Reason for Separation is Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons.

Applicant states that he is requesting a SPD code change and payment of half-separation pay IAW 
COMDTINST M7220.29 and ALCOAST 355/15. The Applicant also states that if the Board does not award 
half -separation pay then he requests no action be taken and he will apply to the Board for Correction of 
Military Records.

In September 2012, Applicant was investigated for making false official statements to the Terrebonne Parish 
Sheriff Department and to his Commanding Officer, stating that he had been robbed at gunpoint. Applicant 
later corrected his false statements. Applicant drank in his hotel room then proceeded to bar hop on Bourbon 
Street until he blacked out. He awoke the following morning in his hotel room not knowing how he got there. 
His wallet, credit card, wedding ring and cell phones were missing. The Applicant was eventually relieved for 
cause for his duties as Executive Petty Officer aboard CGC STURGEON. In November 2012, he went to 
Captain's Mast (UCMJ - Article 15) and received an oral reprimand.

The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The Board notes that the Applicant was 
separated for Miscellaneous/General Reasons and not for Alcohol Rehabilitation Failure. The Applicant went 
before an Administrative Separation Board (ASB) in November 2013. The ASB recommended that the 
Discharge Authority retain the Applicant for continued service because the ASB did not believe that there was 
an Unsuitability or Misconduct basis for discharge.   However, PSC memo 1910 of 31 Jul 2015, ordered that the 
Applicant be separated for Unsuitability due to Alcohol Abuse.

Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication By Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Concur with Board. No relief.
