Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 
The applicant was discharged in February of 2018 from for Misconduct (Alcohol) after serving O1 Year, 11 Months and 16 Days on Active Duty.

The separation authority listed on the Separation Authorization is COMDTINST M 1000.4, l.B.17 (Misconduct -Commission of a Serious Military or Civilian Offense). The SPD handbook prescribes an RE Code ofRE-4 for an SPD Code of JKQ.
