RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01778
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Los Angelos, California to the
Philippines (i.e., Beverly Hills, Lahug, or Cebu).
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Philippines should be considered his HOR since he was born and raised
there for 22 years. He came to the United States when he was 22 years old
and enlisted when he was 23 years old.
In support of the appeal, the applicant submits copies of his birth
registration and college diploma.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 11 October
1983. DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects Los Angelos,
California, as his HOR.
EXAMINER'S NOTE:
HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the ndividual 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 serive 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.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
there is no documentation to substantiate changing the applicant’s HOR.
The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 21 November 2003 for review and response within 30 days.
However, as of this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, he has provided no evidence which would lead us to believe
the HOR currently reflected in his records was incorrectly recorded at the
time he was initially ordered to active duty. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend
favorable action on 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.
