A former Navy Sailor was discharged after an administrative separation board that recommended the Sailor be discharged with a General discharge after testing positive on a urinalysis after accidentally ingesting his wife’s ADHD medication. The ADSEP board found that his service up to the positive urinalysis was honorable and had no incidences of misconduct. The Navy DRB determined the Board was incorrect in its findings and specifically noted the Board’s own determination the Sailor had otherwise honorable service. The DRB upgraded the Sailor’s discharge to Honorable, change the reenlistment code to RE-1, and the narrative reason for the discharge from “serious misconduct” to “Secretarial Authority.” The DRB’s decision restores the Sailor’s Post 9-11 GI Bill benefits and allows, should he decide to do so, return to the Navy.
