AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AUG 19
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NO: 98-00919
COUNSEL:
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that her n rrative reason for separation be
changed from “miscellaneous/general reasons” to ”custody of minor
children”. Applicant’s submission is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant’s request
and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the
application be denied (Exhibit C). The advisory opinion was
forwarded to counsel and the applicant for review and response
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the
available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of
error or injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the
evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant or
counsel. Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights
to which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to
disturb the existing record.
Accordingly, applicant’s request is denied.
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and
will only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant
evidence which was not reasonably available at the time the
application was filed.
Members of the Board, Mr. Henry C. Saunders, Mr. Dana J. Gilmour,
and Ms. Ann L. Heidig considered this application on 18 August
1998, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction

APR I S 1998’
SUBJECT: Application for Correction of Military Records -
The applicant, while serving in the grade of senior airman, was discharged fiom the Air Force
06 Mar 98 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Voluntary-Miscellaneous Reasons) with an
Honorable discharge. She served 03 years, 08 months 06 days total active service.
Reauested Action. The applicant is requesting the separation reason be changed fiom
“miscellaneous/general reasons” to “custody of minor children.”
Facts. The applicant voluntarily requested early separation fiom the Air Force by submitting an
AF Form 3 1 which indicates her request was for miscellaneous/general reasons. Attached to her
application was a statement whereby she indicated that she was pending a divorce and without her
husband’s support, she would not be able to afford daycare for her child. However, she did not
elect to submit a request for hardship discharge under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph
3.20 (Dependency or Hardship) whereby undue hardship or dependency does not necessarily exist
because of altered present or expected income. Her application was submitted according to AFI-
36-3208, paragraph 3.15 which is the provision for a miscellaneous/general reasons separation.
The Air Force approved just what she ask for at the time of her application.
Discussion. This case has been reviewed for separation processing and there are no errors or
irregularities causing an injustice to the applicant. Her discharge complies with directives in effect
at the time of her discharge. The records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and
appropriate action was taken.
Recommendation. Applicant did not identiijl any specific errors in the discharge processing nor
provide facts which warrant a change in the separation reason. Accordingly, we recommend
applicant’s request be denied. She has filed a very timely request.

However, with the applicant’s desire to separate 01 Jan 98 (as indicated in her application), she still would not have been eligible for a separation “to attend school” because her normal expiration term of service (ETS) was 980328, more than 90 days allowed by Air Force Instructions. The Air Force approved...
She requested separation for pregnancy and was separated on 03 Jan 98, an arbitrary date. Her separation date was 8 days before she would have been eligible for the MGIB.
