EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Applicant was discharged in January of 2017.

   The Applicant served in excess of 13 years of service. The Applicant received numerous positive remarks 
and awards during his early service. The Applicant received unsatisfactory conduct marks and was not 
recommended for reenlistment / extension for their evaluations dated 2015 and 2016. The Applicant’s end of 
enlistment was dated January 28, 2017.
   Two (2) different Separation Authorization forms were presented and their DD Form 214. One Separation 
Authorization form states their Character of Service is Honorable with an RE code of RE-3, and the other form 
states Under Honorable Conditions with an RE code of RE-4. Both Separation Authorization forms are dated 
January 5, 2017.
   On January 13, 2017, fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Applicant’s enlistment, the applicant 
was involved in a drug incident. The Applicant’s drug test came back positive for Amphetamine and 
Methamphetamine. The Applicant was issued a Drug Incident Page 7 on January 19, 2017.

  The Board discussed the Separation Code and Reentry Code consistency. Per ALCOAST 125/10, a 
Separation Code of JBK authorizes a RE Code of RE-1 or RE-3. Per Note 1, RE-1 is the default and RE-3 can 
be assigned when the Commanding Officer does not recommend the member for reenlistment. The Board 
determined the Under Honorable Conditions was warranted based on the member’s record and an upgrade to 
the RE code was justified.


Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Granted no relief.
