Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 

DISCUSSION: The applicant was separated from the Coast Guard due to Unacceptable Conduct. The basis for
the applicant’s discharge was failure to successfully complete their six-month probationary period.
The applicant’s requirement for successful completion of probation was to report to work on time. Over
the next few months, the applicant demonstrated the inability to overcome their repeated tardiness and
not complete the conditions set forth in their probation period. The Board finds no issues with propriety
or equity in this case. The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge. The applicant did not make
a statement on their behalf and did not object to discharge from the U. S. Coast Guard. 

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.
