In Hawaii, are you allowed to get out on a chapter 8?

I’ve read you can’t but then I’ve also heard people have.

I don’t know of a specific regulation or policy that disallows a Chapter 8 due to being in Hawaii. Sounds like a barracks rumor but I do know from observation that requesting a chapter 8 isn’t a gimme or automatic. Just like any other military requests it’s a process.

Your location doesn’t prevent you from being chaptered. But you have a limited amount of time to request it, and you will usually have to do all the work yourself

If you meant a Section 8, you can be loonie tunes anywhere.

Have you looked at AR 635-200?

If it's a pregnancy related chapter, I don't see why being in Hawaii would make any difference.

That's one hell of a barracks rumor

Little confused but if your pregnant I'd start with my chair of command and then start working!

You can be chaptered at any time, anywhere if the Command desires/proves it.

You can be separated under any applicable chapter, regardless of your duty station, as long as the administrative and legal requirements have been met. I’m not sure what barracks lawyer or misinformed leader fed that to you, but it’s about as fake as Hillary Clinton landing under fire in Bosnia.

If someone claims the world famous “it’s a policy”, you need to respond like a Missouri license plate...”Show Me”
