EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to Involvement with Drugs in the Fall of 2010.

The applicant admitted to Coast Guard Investigative Service of using Lux, an herbal form of THC that is 
categorized as an illegal drug. This violation is documented and acknowledged by the applicant in an 
administrative remarks entry.

The applicant's command determined this to be a drug incident. Pursuant to policy, the applicant was 
recommended for separation due to a drug incident. The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this 
case.

The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge and was advised of the rights to an attorney.  A statement 
was submitted by the applicant while objecting to the discharge.

Coast Guard policy prescribes no higher than a General, Under Honorable Conditions character of service for 
individuals separated as a result of violating the Coast Guard's drug policy.

Consistent with policy, the Coast Guard has zero tolerance for drug abuse. The General, Under Honorable 
Conditions discharge is equitable.

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