RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01307
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her late husband’s Home of Record (HOR) be changed to San Antonio, 
TX.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her late husband considered San Antonio, TX his home of record.  
He owned property in Texas.  

The Board should find it in the interest of justice to consider 
her untimely request so that his daughter may utilize military 
educational benefits.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to his DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed 
Forces of the United States, signed 17 Nov 70, his HOR is 
Corvallis, Oregon.   

According to his four remaining DD Forms 4, signed 3 Feb 75, 
30 Sep 78, 13 Jun 86 and 13 Nov 92, his HOR is Roseburg, Oregon.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIP recommends denial.  The DD Form 4 is the source 
document for HOR.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), 
Volume I, Appendix A, reads Home of Record is the place recorded 
as the individual’s home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, 
inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty.  Additionally, it 
states the place recorded as the individual’s home when 
reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that 
recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted or inducted or 
ordered into the tour of active duty unless there is a break in 
service of more than one full day.  Only if a break in service 
exceeds one full day may the member change the HOR.  Any such 
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 
AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch was unable to confirm that the 
member initialed the DD Form 4 as one was not provided.  According 
to his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty, his HOR appears to be Roseburg, Oregon.  

The complete DPSIP 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 4 Oct 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 
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.
