RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05227 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, character of service be changed from “uncharacterized” to “honorable.” APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her pregnancy and sickle cell anemia were pre-existing medical conditions which she had no knowledge until the military health care system found them. She was involuntarily discharged from active duty. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 2 Feb 00. On 10 Feb 00, the staff physician notified the applicant’s commander that she had two or more positive pregnancy tests. The positive tests were presumptive, not conclusive, of an intrauterine pregnancy. On 16 Feb 00, the applicant’s commander notified her she was recommending her discharge for erroneous enlistment – pregnancy, in accordance with AFPD 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations, and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. The same day the applicant acknowledged the commander’s notification, waiving her option to consult counsel, and her rights to submit statements. The base discharge authority approved the applicant’s discharge for erroneous enlistment with an entry level separation (ELS). On 18 Feb 00, the applicant was furnished an ELS with Uncharacterized Service under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, for failed medical/physical procurement standards. She was credited with seventeen days of total active service. On 13 Jan 15, a request for post-service information was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment (Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, which is attached at Exhibit D. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The evidence revealed the applicant’s commander received confirmation from a competent medical authority that the applicant was pregnant prior to entry onto active duty, and this disqualifying medical condition did not meet the minimum medical standards set forth in Air Force regulations. The applicant’s ELS discharge, to include the service characterization, and the separation program designator code, were consistent with the procedures of Department of Defense guidance and Air Force instructions. The applicant’s request was not timely filed within three years of discovery of the alleged error or injustice. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 17 Mar 15, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD: After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we find the application untimely. While the applicant claims a date of discovery of less than three years ago, in our view, the reasonable date of discovery of the alleged error or injustice was more than three years ago and the application is therefore untimely. The applicant did not file within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603. The applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
