RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03597
INDEX CODE: 112.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Fort Washington, MD, to San
Narciso, Zambales, Philippines.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She is originally from and was married in the Philippines.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted her enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 14 March
1987. DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects Fort
Washington, Maryland, as her HOR.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommended denial. They indicated the HOR is defined as the
place recorded as the home of the individual when they entered 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. After a thorough review of the applicant’s military
records, they found no documentation to substantiate changing the
applicant’s HOR. 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.
The evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 4 January 2004, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and response within 30 days. 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, she has provided no evidence which would lead us to believe
the HOR currently reflected in her records was incorrectly recorded at the
time she 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 an 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.

On 7 April 2004 applicant applied for a CJR and was approved on 14 April 2004. DPPAE states effective 29 April 2004, the applicant’s SRB was deleted and she was not eligible to reenlist at that time to receive the SRB due to her not being within 3 months prior to her expiration term of service (ETS). After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that the applicant should be given the relief requested.
