RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00690

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be changed to reflect “Hardship” as the narrative reason 
for separation.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was granted a “Hardship” discharge in 1984.  She recently 
registered at her local Department of Veterans Affairs hospital 
and was advised that she would automatically qualify for medical 
care when her DD Form 214 was corrected to reflect “Hardship”.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 13 Sep 
82.

On 23 Feb 84, the applicant requested to separate on 18 Jun 84 
in accordance with AFR 39-10, Separation Upon Expiration of Term 
of Service, for Convenience of Government, Minority, Dependency 
and Hardship, Chapter 3, paragraph 3-17.  The reason listed for 
this request was based on pregnancy with a due date of 31 Jul 
84.

On 24 Feb 84, the applicant’s commander recommended approval.

On 14 Mar 84, the Chief, Personnel Division approved the 
applicant’s request to separate based on pregnancy.

On 18 Jun 84, the applicant was furnished an Honorable 
discharge, and was credited with 1 year, 9 months, and 6 days of 
active service.  Her DD Form 214 reflects “Pregnancy” as her 
narrative reason for separation.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The applicant applied and was 
approved to separate based on being pregnant and her DD Form 214 
reflects that fact in the narrative reason for separation.  Her 
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 22 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


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 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.
