RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05837

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO	

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her narrative reason for separation be changed from “Pregnancy” to “Hardship.”  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was forced out the military with ongoing health issues and her narrative reason for separation prohibits her from receiving needed medical benefits.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate she enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 25 August 1981.

On 17 June 1983, the applicant applied for separation under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Administrative Separation of Airmen (Pregnancy), to be effective 28 June 1983.  

On 28 June 1983, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, with a narrative reason for separation of “Pregnancy.”  She was credited with 1 year, 10 months, and 4 days of total active service.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial, indicating the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation.  The applicant provided no facts warranting a change to her narrative reason for separation.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 8 March 2013 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).  

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.  

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in that absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.  

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.

    Her narrative reason for separation does not have an effect on her RE code, as her RE code is driven by her involuntary discharge and honorable character of service. However, by a majority vote, the Board recommended denial of a change to the reentry code. AFPC/DPSOR has admitted that her discharge reason for separation and the corresponding separation code should be corrected.
