RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03114 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Louisiana to Ohio. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

When she enlisted in the Air Force, she was married to a soldier 
stationed in Louisiana who was in the process of being 
discharged from the Army. 

 

Her husband left all their household goods (HHG) in a storage 
unit in Louisiana. Her HHG are currently being stored at her 
parent’s home in Ohio. She would like them shipped to Florida, 
where she is currently stationed. However, she cannot do so 
without her HOR being changed to Ohio. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular 
Air Force on 16 May 2009. Her DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document - Armed Forces of the United 
States, reflects Louisiana as her HOR. 

 

Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) Volume I, Appendix A, 
states in part that a HOR is the place recorded as the 
individual’s home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, 
inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. Any correction 
must be fully justified and the home, as corrected, must be the 
member’s actual home upon entering the Service, and not a 
different place selected for the member's convenience.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. DPSIPE states the applicant’s 
records reflect Louisiana as the state in which she lived prior 
to entering the Air Force. Louisiana is listed as her HOR on 
her DD Form 4. In accordance with AFI 36-2608, Military 
Personnel Records System, DD Form 4 is the source document for 
HOR. 

 

The complete DPSIPE evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit 
B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 20 Aug 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
C). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of 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 and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not 
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, 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.
