RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02802
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His home of record (HOR) be changed from U.S. Air Force Academy CO, to
Eagle River AK.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was an Alaska resident and has been since 1997 when he moved there
with his parents during a permanent change of station move. He
graduated from high school in Alaska in May of 1999 and entered into
the U.S. Air Force Academy as an active duty member in July of 1999,
which is depicted by his high school diploma. Hence, his home was in
Alaska when he was initially ordered to active duty. He has remained
an Alaska resident since 1997 and do not plan on changing it. He has
also included several supporting documents in addition to this letter.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and was
commissioned on 28 May 2003. Records showed his HOR as U.S. Air Force
Academy, CO.
HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual at
the time they enlisted, were commissioned, or initially ordered to
active duty. It is recorded in the military personnel record to
determine transportation entitlements upon separation. The HOR can be
changed only if there has been a break in service of one full day
(inactive reserve time is not counted as a break in service) or a bona
fide error was made in recording the information given by the member.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. After reviewing the evidence of
record, the Board believes that it is not unreasonable to presume that
the applicant was not provided proper counseling by his recruiter
regarding his Home of Record upon graduation from the Academy and
entry onto active duty. Based on the fact that the applicant
continued to list Alaska as his place of residence, we recommend that
the applicant’s 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 his home of record at
the time of his entry on active duty was Eagle River, Alaska, rather
than U.S. Air Force Academy, CO.
