Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 

DISCUSSION: The applicant was separated due to Misconduct due to a Commission of a Serious Offense. 
The applicant was found guilty of Article 92 (failure to obey order/regulation) of the Uniformed Code of 
Military Justice via a Summary Court-Martial when on multiple occasions the applicant willfully entered 
inaccurate competencies, qualifications, and other entries for their own benefit into the Coast Guard’s 
Training Management Tool system. 
The applicant was notified of the intent to involuntary discharge and their rights to an Administrative 
Separation Board (ASB). The ASB was held and the Board’s recommendation was to retain the applicant 
(member at the time). However, the action of the final reviewing authority, disapproved the ASB’s 
recommendation to retain the applicant (member at the time) based on the evidence and testimony 
presented during the Summary Court-Martial and ASB. 
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. 
The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the right to an 
attorney. The applicant did appear before an administrative separation board. 

RECOMMENDATION: The Board members thoroughly reviewed the applicant’s record of service and all 
available documentation. The Board deemed that the applicant’s character of service, reason for 
separation and reenlistment code are appropriate and should not be changed. The applicant has not 
substantiated any error or inequity. 

2 In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is 
substantial credible evidence (to include evidence submitted by the Applicant) to rebut the presumption.
