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 applicants 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 applicants commander recommended approval.
On 14 Mar 84, the Chief, Personnel Division approved the
applicants 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 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
(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.
