EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged due to Misconduct in February 2006.

The Board notes the Applicant was discharged by Commanding Officer, Training Center Cape May only after 
serving 25 days in the USCG. The Board carefully reviewed his application and 8 character letters. No new 
evidence was submitted by him.

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

The Board noticed that the applicant was issued a General Discharge in Block 24 of the DD-214 for character 
of service. The Boards recommends that this is administratively corrected to Under Honorable Conditions. The 
General discharge is correct, but is not a valid character of service entry for Block 24 per ALCOAST 562/08.


Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Board Conclusion:	The Board voted 5-0 to recommend no relief. The Board does recommend an 
administrative change to Under Honorable Conditions per ALCOAST 562/08.
