STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from 
the  applicant's  military  records, are  contained  in  the  letter 
prepared  by  the  appropriate  office  of  the  Air  Force. 
Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to  recite  these  facts  in  this 
Record of Proceedings. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The  Chief, Skills Management  Branch, AFPC/DPPAE,  reviewed  this 
application  and  indicated  that  HOR  is  defined  as  the  place 
recorded  as  the  home  of  the  individual  when  commissioned, 
It 
enlisted, 
is recorded in the military personnel record for the sole purpose 
of  determining  transportation  entitlements  upon  separation, or 
those of  dependents  in  the  event  of  a member's  death while  on 
active duty.  While legal addresses may change from time to time 

or ordered into the relevant tour of active duty. 

AFBCMR 98-00874 

' during  a  member's  career, HOR  remains  constant.  HOR  can  be 
changed only if there has been a break in service of one full day 
or a bona  fide error was made in recording information given by 
member.  The  HOR  must  be  the  actual  home  of  the  member  upon 
entering the service, and not a different place selected for the 
member's  convenience.  As  information, upon  retirement, travel 
and  transportation  entitlements  are  to  home  of  selection, not 
HOR.  DPPAE recommends denial of applicant's request. 

A  complete  copy  of  the  Air  Force  evaluation  is  attached  at 
Exhibit B. 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 
2 0   Jun 9 8   for review and response.  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 timely filed. 
3 .   Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  probable  error  or  injustice.  It 
appears  that  applicant's  HOR  was  annexed by  a neighboring town 
and its name was changed; therefore, she wishes that her records 
reflect this change.  In view of the foregoing, we  recommend her 
records be corrected as indicated below. 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be  corrected to show that her HOR  at the 
time of  her entry into active military  service on  7  Apr  93 was 
5013 Overton Circle, The Colony, Texas 7 5 0 5 6 .  

The following members of the Board considered this application in 
Executive Session on 29 September 1998, under the  provisions of 
AFI 3 6 - 2 6 0 3 :

MEMORANDUM FOR  AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPAE 

550 C Street West, Ste 10 
Randolph AFB TX  78 150-47 12 

The applicant requests her Home of Record (HOR) be changed fro-to 

bases her request on the fact that her mother has relocated within the past 
filed a timely request within three years of discovering the alleged injustice. 

HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, 
enlisted, or ordered into the relevant tour of active duty.  It is recorded in the military personnel 
record for the sole purpose of determining transportation entitlements upon separation, or those of 
dependents in the event of a member’s death while on active duty.  While legal addresses may 
change from time to time during a member’s career, HOR remains constant.  HOR can be changed 
only if there has been a break in service of one full day or a bona fide error was made in recording 
information given by member.  The HOR must be the actual home of the member upon entering 
the service, and not a different place selected for the member’s convenience.  As information, 
upon retirement, travel and transportation entitlements are to Home of Selection, not HOR. 

Applicant does not provide documentation to support changing HOR.  We recommend 

denial of request.  4--

    The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C). After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action. While legal addresses may change from time to time during a member’s career, HOR remains constant.
