APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

to Hardship.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
1. The officer who authorized her discharge stated it would be
characterized as a Hardship.
2. She was in a foreign country and pregnant with twins.
3. She was not allowed to reside on-base after she delivered,
so she was discharged for Hardship.
4. Her narrative reason for separation prohibits her from
receiving medical benefits.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 24 Dec 85, the applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force.
She was credited with six months and 12 days of total active
service.
On 25 Jun 86, the applicant applied for separation under the
provisions of AFR 39-10, Administrative Separation of Airmen
(Pregnancy) to be effective 8 Jul 86. The USAF Hospital
commander (USAF/CC) reviewed the request and recommended the
48th Combat Support Group, Director of Personnel (48CSG/DP)
approve the request. On 1 Jul 86, the 48CSG/DP approved the
applicants request for separation to be effective 8 Jul 86.
On 7 Jul 86, the applicant was discharged with service
characterized as honorable and narrative reason for separation
as Pregnancy in the grade of airman first class.
She served 6 months and 12 days of total active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that on 25 Jun 86,
the applicant applied for a separation date of 7 Jul 86 due to
her pregnancy and the discharge authority approved her request.
Based on the documentation on file in the applicants master
personnel records, the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation. The applicant has not provided any facts warranting
a change to her separation code or narrative reason for
separation.
The complete DPSOS 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 26 Nov 12, review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicants 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 that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. In view of the
above and in the 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 that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
