Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 
The applicant retired from the U. S. Coast Guard in December 2016 with a Character of Service of Honorable.

The applicant's DD Form 214 reads as follow: Separation Code is RNC and the Narrative Reason For Separation (NR) reads Unacceptable Conduct.

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.
