In May 2013, the Applicant was involved in an altercation in which he brandished a firearm and used it in a 
threatening manner, warranting his arrest. He failed to report the full extent of the incident and arrest to his 
Command. In February 2014, Applicant went to Captain's Mast pursuant to Article 15 of the UCMJ where he 
was charged with violating Article 128 (Assault-Aggravated) and Article 92 (Failure to Obey an Order or 
Regulation). Both of these offenses were dismised due to civil punishment that was awarded to the Applicant 
in December 2013.

In March 2014, the Applicant was informed by his Command (CG MSST San Francisco) that they have 
initiated action to separate him from the Coast Guard due to Misconduct, Commission of a Serious Offense. 
Initially, the Applicant requested an Administrative Separation Board but waived his right to appear before an 
Administrative Separation Board with the condition that he receive a characterization no lower than General
