RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01874
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 1 FEBRUARY 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Block 19, Mailing Address After Separation, be changed to
reflect his home address of Illinois.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Had he known that he would not be able to use Veteran benefits in Illinois
upon completion of his tour of duty, he would not have enlisted. His DD
Form 214 is of no use to him. He would like to use the Illinois Veteran’s
Grant to obtain higher education. However, he is having difficulty
obtaining this because of the differences in addresses/states on his DD
Form 214. He was born in Illinois but cannot claim the title of being an
Illinois Veteran. There is no error but an injustice exists.
In support of his appeal, applicant submits a personal statement and a copy
of his DD Form 214. Applicant’s submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 6 December 1988, the applicant was honorably released from active duty
and transferred to the Air Force Reserve in the grade of sergeant (E-4)
under the provisions of AFR 39-10 (Expiration Term of Obligated Service).
He had served 4 years on active duty. He continued serving with the Air
Force Reserve until his discharge which occurred on 12 June 1993.
On 6 September 2005, Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center issued the
applicant a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, for the 6 December 1988
separation date, reflecting the addition of block 7b, Home of Record at
Time of Entry.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied. DPPRS states that
according to the documentation on file in the master personnel records, on
13 June 1990, the applicant reenlisted in the Air Force Reserve for a
period of 3 years and indicated his home of record was Las Vegas, NV. On
15 April 1991, the applicant was honorably released from active duty due to
demobilization and again provided Las Vegas, NV as his mailing address
after separation. The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant states he would like to be considered an Illinois Veteran,
however, he cannot qualify for the Illinois Veteran’s grant due to the fact
that his DD Form 214 separation address differs from his home state of IL.
Applicant states that the advisory does not address the injustice, inequity
and unfairness of this situation. Applicant’s letter is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an injustice. The evidence provided has led us to consider it
reasonable to favorably consider the applicant’s request. While we agree
with the Air Force office of primary responsibility that no error exists,
we note that disapproval of the applicant’s request would result in his
ineligibility to use his Illinois Veteran’s Grant. Therefore, in view of
the above and because his home of record at time of entry on active duty
was Illinois and it also appears the applicant resides in Illinois, it is
our opinion that his records should be corrected to the extent 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 at the time of his release from
active duty on 6 December 1988, his Mailing
Address After Separation, was 447 D. Sidney, Glendale Heights, IL 30139.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed that the applicant initialed the DD Form 4, dated 28 June 2002, listing Las Vegas, NV as his HOR. We took notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140010293
By law and regulation, the HOR is the place recorded as the home of the individual at the time of their enlistment or induction, and there is no authority to change the HOR officially recorded at the time of entry into military service unless it is based on evidence that a bona fide error was made. In this case, the evidence of record shows that the applicant listed his HOR as Natrona Heights, PA on his enlistment document. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140002417
There is no authority to change the HOR as officially recorded at the time of entry into the military service. Correction of the HOR must be based on evidence that a bona fide error was made and the HOR as corrected must have been the actual home of the individual at the time of entry into the relevant period of service. The applicant has provided insufficient evidence to show his permanent home was not Las Vegas, NV at the time he enlisted in the RA on 20 January 2006.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090007307
The applicant requests that his home of record (HOR) on his military records be changed to show 1*** B***** Street, West City, Illinois 62812. This is especially significant since he provided information at the time of his enlistment in the Regular Army that fails to show that he ever resided at an address in West City, Illinois. Therefore, the Board determined that the overall merits of this case are insufficient as a basis for correction of the records of the individual concerned.
